Seahawks Rookie Jadarian Price Sidelined With Short-Term Leg Soreness

Coaches say the first-round running back should return in a few days while the team uses the pause to judge his readiness for three-down work.

Overview

  • Price missed two straight practices this weekend with lower-body/leg soreness and head coach Mike Macdonald called the issue minor and expected a return in a matter of days.
  • The absence matters because Seattle’s backfield depth is limited with Zach Charbonnet on the PUP list after ACL surgery and Kenneth Walker III having signed elsewhere.
  • Emanuel Wilson and other veteran backs have taken increased reps in Price’s absence and shown playmaking that could lead to a shared early-season role.
  • Observers praise Price’s receiving upside from Notre Dame but note his pass protection remains a work in progress and is a key factor in deciding three-down snaps.
  • With the preseason window short and Seattle set to open the season in September, coaches will use the coming practices to confirm Price’s health and determine how the team divides carries.
