The Seattle Seahawks designated running back Jadarian Price to return to practice on Thursday, and head coach Mike Macdonald said it’s “realistic” the rookie first-round draft pick could play against the Chicago Bears on Monday night.

Price, the No. 32 overall pick in April’s NFL Draft, has missed the past four games after landing on injured reserve with a chest injury. This is the first week he’s eligible to be activated off IR. The Seahawks now have 21 days to add Price to their 53-man roster, or else he must remain on IR for the rest of the season.

Price rushed for a team-high 119 yards on 28 carries in Seattle’s first three games, while adding four catches for 21 yards. He averaged 4.3 yards per carry – the best mark of any Seahawks running back this season – but also lost two fumbles.
