What happened: Zach Charbonnet is expected to play against the Chicago Bears, but he remains listed as questionable. He has not played since January's Divisional Playoffs against the San Francisco 49ers and was ruled out for Week 7 after returning to Seattle's roster.

Why it matters: Charbonnet ran for 730 yards on 184 carries in 16 games for the Seattle Seahawks in 2025. That production makes a case for using him near the goal line if he is active, even with a limited workload after the knee injury.
