Seahawks RB Jadarian Price Out for Week 4 Due to Injury
Confirmed
In Short: Seahawks rookie running back Jadarian Price will be sidelined for at least four weeks after being placed on injured reserve due to a chest injury, the team announced Saturday.
Price, who was selected 32nd overall in the 2026 NFL Draft, aggravated the injury during practice this week, having initially sustained it in Week 2 against the Arizona Cardinals.
Price had rushed for a team-high 119 yards on 28 carries this season, but he lost a fumble in each of the past two games, contributing to the Seahawks' first loss of the season against the Washington Commanders.
The Seahawks will now rely on Emanuel Wilson and George Holani to carry the load for the ground attack during Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Chargers.
The Seahawks have also elevated Velus Jones Jr. from their practice squad to add depth to the backfield.
The Seahawks' running back depth chart continues to thin out, with Price's development halted as he recovers from the lingering injury.
The Seahawks only have one rushing touchdown through their first three games, and that touchdown belongs to tight end AJ Barner.
