The Seattle Seahawks will try to regroup and give their fading playoff hopes a boost when they visit the Chicago Bears.

With Walker out, Zach Charbonnet is expected to make another start, and the Seahawks have full confidence in the second-year back, who has rushed for 453 yards and eight touchdowns, including a career-best 134 yards while starting in place of Walker in Seattle's Week 14 win in Arizona.

Legendary coach Pete Carroll most recently coached the Seahawks from 2010 to 2023, but he wants back in the NFL.

With Week 16 in the books, the NFL clarified what the playoff picture looks like heading into the holidays. Here is the Seahawks' path.

Two games to watch on Wednesday, both with AFC playoff seeding implications. The Kansas City Chiefs visit the Pittsburgh Steelers for a 1 p.m. kickoff, then the Houston Texans host the Baltimore Ravens at 4:30 p.

Last season, former New York Jets coach Pete Carroll was surprisingly fired by the Seattle Seahawks after a historic run of success for the team.

Seattle must win each of its final two games, beginning with Thursday's showdown against the Chicago Bears at Soldier Field. The Seahawks currently trail the Los Angeles Rams by a game in the NFC West and could still be eliminated if they win Thursday.

While Thursdays normally kick off the week, Week 17 started on Christmas Day making Thursday Night Football the third game of the week. TSN has everything you need to know about who's playing in the prime time match up.
