Macdonald: 'Realistic' Jadarian returns this week
NBC Sports • • sports
Key Points:
- Seahawks coach Mike Macdonald indicated that running back Jadarian Price (chest injury) has a realistic chance to return in Week 8 against the Bears, with Price participating in limited practice sessions.
- Zach Charbonnet (knee) was a full participant in practice and is expected to return soon, which could lead to a crowded Seattle backfield and reduce Emmanuel Wilson's role as RB2.
- Price has struggled with injuries and fumbling issues this season, leading to uncertainty in his fantasy value; if he returns, he may have a more limited, possibly Blake Corum-like role splitting carries.
- Other Seahawks backs like George Holani and Emmanuel Wilson will continue to see playing time, especially if Price or Charbonnet are unavailable, creating a complex fantasy situation for Seattle's running backs.
- Several other NFL players, including Raiders WR Jack Bech and Packers WR Matthew Golden, are nearing returns from injury, while Panthers and Cardinals players face various injury-related absences impacting Week 8 lineups.
