Seahawks' Jadarian Price: Placed on injured reserve
Rotowire
Price (chest) was placed on injured reserve Saturday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Price saw his practice participation during Week 4 prep decline due to a chest injury before he was ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Chargers. The injury is severe enough for the rookie first-rounder to go on IR, meaning Price will be forced to miss at least the next four games and won't be eligible to return until at least Week 8 against the Bears on Sunday, Nov. 2. Emanuel Wilson and George Holani will serve as the Seahawks' top running backs for Week 4 due to Price's absence, but Zach Charbonnet (knee) could also be in the mix for backfield duties as soon as Week 5 against the 49ers if he's cleared to be activated from the reserve/PUP list.

Seahawks' Jadarian Price: Ruled out for Week 4
Rotowire
Coach Mike Macdonald said Friday that Price has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Chargers, Curtis Crabtree of Fox 13 Seattle reports.
Price opened the week as limited Wednesday due to his existing chest injury and then didn't practice at all Thursday. Macdonald also told Crabtree that Price aggravated the chest issue during Wednesday's session, and now that he'll miss the first game of his career, Emanuel Wilson figures to pace the Seahawks backfield in Week 4, with George Holani (ribs) on hand for any RB reps that linger.

Seahawks' Jadarian Price: DNP on Thursday
Rotowire
Price (chest) didn't practice Thursday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Price opened Week 4 prep as limited Wednesday due to a chest issue, which didn't allow him to mix into any drills one day later. He thus has one more opportunity to practice Friday before the Seahawks potentially make a decision on his availability ahead of the weekend. Ultimately, if Price is limited or sidelined Sunday versus the Chargers, Emanuel Wilson likely would take on most of the early-down and short-yardage work, with George Holani on hand in a change-of-pace role.

Seahawks' Jadarian Price: Limited by chest issue
Rotowire
Price was limited in practice Wednesday due to a chest injury, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.
Price logged career lows in snap share (28 percent) and touches (six) during this past Sunday's loss at Washington, accounting for just 22 yards from scrimmage. Perhaps the current health concern is partly to blame, but fellow RB Emanuel Wilson earned nine touches (all rushes) in Week 3, while George Holani (rib, LP on Wednesday) handled eight touches. Considering Holani now is banged up as well, Wilson may be the safest best among the trio to produce on game days.

Seahawks' Jadarian Price: May be falling into committee
Rotowire
Price carried the ball five times for 15 yards and caught one of three targets for seven yards in Sunday's 33-31 loss to the Commanders.
The Seahawks' running game continues to struggle, and Price's inability to make a consistent impact is causing him to lose touches. After seeing double-digit carries in each of his first two NFL games, the rookie's six touches trailed both Emanuel Wilson (nine carries) and George Holani (three totes and five catches). The chest injury Price suffered in Week 2 may have played a role in that distribution, but he hadn't topped 60 scrimmage yards or found the end zone in either of the first two weeks. With Zach Charbonnet (knee) getting closer to his 2026 debut, time may be running out for Price to establish himself in the lead role before the backfield gets even more crowded. He'll try to get going in a Week 4 home tilt against the Chargers.

Seahawks' Jadarian Price: Ready for Sunday
Rotowire
Head coach Mike Macdonald said Friday that Price (shoulder) received "a ton of reps" in practice this week and will be "full go" Sunday in Washington, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.
Macdonald may be overstating how much work Price was able to handle in practice this week considering the rookie running back was limited Wednesday and Thursday, but a full practice Friday has him in the clear for Sunday's contest after he left the Seahawks' Week 2 win at Arizona due to a chest injury. Through the first two games of his career, Price has turned 26 touches into 118 yards from scrimmage, but he's still awaiting his initial end-zone visit.

Seahawks' Jadarian Price: Stays limited Thursday
Rotowire
Price (chest) was limited in practice Thursday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Price now has kicked off Week 3 prep with back-to-back capped sessions due to a chest injury that he picked up in the fourth quarter of this past Sunday's victory at Arizona. He may need to upgrade to full participation Friday in order to avoid a designation ahead of Sunday's visit to Washington. In any case, if Price is inhibited of sidelined this weekend, Emanuel Wilson and George Holani (knee, FP on Thursday) are on hand to man Seattle's backfield.

Seahawks' Jadarian Price: Limited Wednesday
Rotowire
Price (chest) practiced in a limited fashion Wednesday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
When Price exited this past Sunday's win at Arizona, he was deemed questionable to return due to a chest issue. Coach Mike Macdonald termed Price's injury as to his shoulder Monday, per Brady Henderson of ESPN.com, but the initial Week 3 practice report again called it a chest concern. In any case, Price is kicking off the week with some activity and will have two more chances to increase his workload as Seattle preps for Sunday's visit to Washington. Emanuel Wilson and George Holani are available in the event Price is inhibited or sidelined this weekend.

Seahawks' Jadarian Price: Set to practice Wednesday
Rotowire
Price (shoulder) will practice this week, coach Mike Macdonald said Wednesday, Curtis Crabtree of Fox 13 Seattle reports.
MacDonald would not elaborate on the rookie's level of participation, but Price will be practicing this week after hurting his shoulder in the Week 2 win over the Cardinals. Even if Price is limited Wednesday, he will have the chance to ramp up going into the weekend. Macdonald added that Zach Charbonnet (knee) will not be returning this week, leaving Seattle with Emanuel Wilson and George Holani as the primary backfield options if Price is not able to play Sunday.

Seahawks' Jadarian Price: Dealing with shoulder injury
Rotowire
Coach Mike Macdonald said Monday that Price suffered a shoulder injury during Sunday's win at Arizona, but "it's intact and nothing serious, it seems like," Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.
When Price was accompanied by team trainers to the locker room with his pads off during the fourth quarter Sunday, he was considered questionable to return due to a chest issue. Macdonald told Curtis Crabtree of Fox 13 Seattle afterward that X-rays were returned negative, and additional comments from the head coach one day later indicate the rookie first-round pick may not miss any time. Ultimately, how Price fares in practice Wednesday through Friday will determine his availability for next Sunday's game at Washington. George Holani and Emanuel Wilson are the next players up in the Seahawks backfield.

Seahawks' Jadarian Price: RBs to Sit
Rotowire
We don't know how the Seahawks plan to use Price in his NFL debut. He could dominate touches or be in a timeshare with George Holani. Given the matchup, I would prefer to use Price as just a flex option against the Patriots. Last year, when defensive tackle Milton Williams was healthy in the regular season, New England allowed just two rushing touchdowns, and only Sean Tucker in Week 10 gained more than 49 rushing yards. Price could be a star, and it's hard to sit someone with his potential. But he could also lose valuable touches to Holani, and I would prefer Price as just a flex in Week 1.

Seahawks' Jadarian Price: Will not play Friday
Rotowire
Price will not play in Friday's preseason finale against the Chiefs, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.
Price has practiced for over a week since recovering from a lower-body injury, so Friday's absence will not be injury-related. However, it is notable that the rookie will not make his first appearance in an NFL uniform until Week 1. It remains to be seen what Seattle's depth chart will look like heading into the regular season, but with Zach Charbonnet (knee) unavailable Price figures to fill a key role out of the gate in a Seattle backfield that also includes George Holani and Emanuel Wilson (hamstring).

Seahawks' Jadarian Price: Will not play Sunday
Rotowire
Price will not play in Sunday's preseason game against the Titans, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.
Not only will Price not play Sunday, he will also be held out of the Seahawks' preseason finale against the Chiefs this Friday. That means the first time that the rookie first-rounder can see in-game action will be Week 1 against the Patriots on Wednesday, Sept. 9. Price saw limited action in Friday's joint practice with the Titans, and head coach Mike Macdonald told reporters after that practice that Price is "ramping" up his workload over the final weeks of training camp and into the regular season. With Zach Charbonnet (knee) on the active/PUP list and Price sidelined, George Holani figures to serve as the Seahawks' lead back Sunday, with Velus Jones, Jacardia Wright and Anthony Hankerson also in the mix for snaps.

Seahawks' Jadarian Price: Primed to participate Monday
Rotowire
Price (lower body) was present at the start of Monday's practice, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.
Since Price initially missed practice Aug. 8 due to lower-body soreness, the extent of his activity has been work in walkthroughs, and he ended up sitting out Saturday's preseason game versus the Cowboys. It's unclear how much the rookie first-round pick will be able to handle Monday, but his presence generally is a good sign that he's progressing well in his recovery. Fellow RB Zach Charbonnet remains on the active/PUP list due to the ACL tear that he suffered in January and is likely to move to the reserve version of that list to kick off the regular season, and Emanuel Wilson sat out Saturday's contest due to a hamstring issue. As a result, George Holani has been handling most of the first-team backfield reps of late, with Velus Jones, Jacardia Wright and newcomer Anthony Hankerson the other healthy options at the position.

Seahawks' Jadarian Price: Won't play Saturday
Rotowire
Price (lower body) won't suit up for Saturday's preseason game against the Cowboys, Curtis Crabtree of Fox 13 Seattle reports.
Price has been tending to lower-body soreness since last Friday and hasn't practiced in the interim, but he was spotted running on a side field Tuesday and then took part in Wednesday's walkthrough, per Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times. Coach Mike Macdonald said Friday that Price is still "on the mend," so it remains to be seen when he'll mix back into at least individual drills. It also should be noted that Price was listed as the Seahawks' No. 2 RB on the team's first unofficial depth chart of training camp behind George Holani and ahead of Emanuel Wilson, so the rookie first-round pick may have some work to do to handle a larger share of the backfield work to begin the regular season.

Seahawks' Jadarian Price: Takes part in Wednesday's walkthrough
Rotowire
Price (lower body) participated in Wednesday's walkthrough, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.
Price sat out last Friday's practice due to lower-body soreness but progressed to running on a side field Tuesday before Wednesday's development. The Seahawks posted their first unofficial depth chart of training camp this week, and Price was listed as the No. 2 RB behind George Holani and ahead of Emanuel Wilson. Price's status as a 2026 first-round pick indicates he'll be a part of game plans from the start of his NFL career, but he also seems likely to be in some sort of timeshare with Holani and even Wilson. First, though, Price will focus on getting healthy.

Seahawks' Jadarian Price: Dealing with lower-body soreness
Rotowire
Price didn't practice Friday due to "lower-body soreness," Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.
In the early stages of training camp, Price has been handling first-team reps along with fellow RB George Holani. The breakdown of reps in the Seahawks backfield to start the season remains up in the air with Zach Charbonnet in recovery mode from his January ACL tear and Kenneth Walker now in Kansas City. The team invested a first-round pick in Price back in April, presumably with the expectation that he'd be the lead runner while Charbonnet is sidelined, but Holani and even free-agent pickup Emanuel Wilson also may be a part of game plans for Week 1 and beyond.
Price has been mixing in with Seattle's starters at OTAs, including for a full drive during Wednesday's practice, according to Gregg Bell of The News Tribune.
The report suggests George Holani has mostly been first through the backfield rotation, with Price also getting some first-team reps, while Emanuel Wilson is largely working with backups. Bell also suggests Zach Charbonnet (knee) could be part of the team's plan as early as September or October, even though Charbonnet underwent ACL surgery in late February. Price, the 32nd overall pick this spring, remains a solid favorite to lead Seattle in carries come Week 1. However, the rookie could end up in a three-man rotation with Holani handling pass-catching work and Wilson taking some of the inside carries and/or pass-blocking snaps.

Seahawks' Jadarian Price: Selected by Seattle
Rotowire
The Seahawks selected Price in the first round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 32nd overall.
If Jeremiyah Love was Notre Dame's Darren McFadden then Price was their Felix Jones, providing consistent big plays off the bench and as a kick returner. Price is not quite as athletic at 5-foot-11, 203 pounds as Jones was out of Arkansas, but the general theme of big plays off the bench is the deal with Price. The unclear early-season availability of Zach Charbonnet (ACL) gives room for Price to make an immediate impact, and upon Charbonnet's eventual return a long-term workload split can be expected between him and Price not unlike the split between Charbonnet and Kenneth Walker previously. Price also might displace Rashid Shaheed from the kick return unit after returning three of his 22 collegiate kick returns for touchdowns (36.1 yards per return).
