With both of Seattle's running backs, Zach Charbonnet and Jadarian Price, playing together for a second time this season, the Seahawks' run game was more effective in Sunday's win against the Arizona Cardinals.

Charbonnet, playing in just his second game of 2026 after recovering from an ACL injury, led the way with a team-high 77 rushing yards on 16 carries

"Super happy for Zach," receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba said. "Everyone has seen the work and all the grit it takes for him to get back on the field. He played great today. We're going to need him throughout the remainder of the season. So, happy for him today."

Cooper Kupp added: "Just pumped for Zach, really. Just looked great. And so I'm excited for him, the confidence that's going to continue to build for him coming back from what he's coming back from. And yeah, it was really good to see."

Charbonnet also helped Seattle control the last few minutes of the game with a lead, prolonging a ticking clock with a handful of runs.

"That's huge," tight end AJ Barner said. "To have him do that, to break tackles like that, that's what you want in your running back. To get him back out there, obviously, we all felt that."

Price, who played in his fifth game on Sunday, ran for 24 yards on nine carries, and contributed to Seattle's passing game in a large way, finishing with four receptions for a team-high 54 receiving yards.

"That's something that I've worked on," Price said on his pass-catching. "I've built the trust from the coaches and the players. It's really just the coaches giving me more opportunities and me being able to show what I can do in games."

Head coach Mike Macdonald said he could feel Price's presence on the field, which gave the Cardinals defense something else to worry about.

"I thought he was decisive with his runs," Macdonald said of Price. "Sometimes he's the primary in some of those pass concepts. Sometimes he's kind of at the end of the progression and when the ball finds him, if you can make a guy miss, it's a great example. It doesn't have to be some extraordinary play to create explosives, but let's just be efficient with our decision making and get it in our player's hands and let him do the rest. So again, he's another example. I think he's just going to continue to get better now that he's kind of stacking weeks and he's getting healthier, that'll help us."

On one of Seattle's drives in the first quarter, Price and Charbonnet carried the load of the offensive work by gaining 53 of the 55 offensive yards over 11 plays when the Seahawks secured a lead after Barner scored one-yard rushing touchdown. Barner also had a receiving touchdown later in the game, making it his first career game with both a rushing and receiving touchdown.

"Proud of AJ," Macdonald said. "I think we love him and we trust him and we understand what type of player he is. So we can kind of feel the frustration with him of what he expects from himself. But just no flinch, just keep attacking it. And he's a leader on our offense and he provides so much great energy. So when he's on his game, it really helps our offense. And so for him to have that production is really cool to get into some of those short yard situations where we can run the sneak is kind of energize the group and then to put the ball away in the red zone when they take Jacks away, to have another option down there is really helpful."

Barner found success in the three situations where he took a snap under center, including the touchdown run and converting a pair of third-and-1s. Through he air, he caught two passes for a total of seven yards, one of which his second score of the second quarter.

"He's like one of the best tight ends in the world," Smith-Njigba said. "So we have to use him. You know, he can do it. He can do it all. So his versatility is something that's very special and something that we have to use throughout the remainder of the season."
