Jadarian Price is set for a heavy workload with Zach Charbonnet out to start the season
The Seahawks made it official that running back Zach Charbonnet will start the season on the physically unable to perform list, and that makes it clear how big a role rookie running back Jadarian Price is going to have in the defending champions' offense
Cornerback Trevon Diggs' time with the Seahawks did not last long
Seahawks make roster moves to reach 53 players, cutting CB Trevon Diggs and placing RB Zach Charbonnet on PUP
Sam Darnold praises Jadarian Price's abilities and expects him to play a major role for the Seahawks
Did any Seahawks players help or hurt their case for a roster spot after the Cowboys game?
Seattle Seahawks rookie first-round running back Jadarian Price (lower body) was back in pads at training camp practice on Tuesday, according to Seahawks reporter Corbin K. Smith. Price missed practice over the weekend with what was deemed a minor lower-body injury, and now he's back in the fold. Despite the 22-year-old's return to the practice field, we would not be surprised if he's held out of the team's preseason opener this Saturday against the Dallas Cowboys. George Holani was listed as Seattle's RB1 on their first unofficial depth chart, but Price is expected to have a big role in the Seahawks' backfield in his first year in the NFL, at least until Zach Charbonnet (knee) can return from a torn ACL that he suffered last postseason. The Notre Dame product must also contend with Emanuel Wilson, but the rookie has plenty of explosiveness and big-play ability to quickly become the most exciting option in the team's backfield while Charbonnet is sidelined. Passing-game work probably won't be there, though, which limits Price's fantasy price to more of a low-end RB2/high-end RB3/flex
Seattle Seahawks running back Jadarian Price could be pressing for a bigger role in the team's backfield rotation right away
Jadarian Price's return is uncertain due to a lower body injury
The Seahawks announced a pair of roster moves on Saturday. They signed running back Justin Jones to the active roster. Linebacker Power Echols was waived in a corresponding move. Echols signed with the team on Friday, so it was a very brief stint in Seattle for him. Jones took part in the Seahawks’ rookie minicamp earlier this offseason. He did not get the ball much while at Auburn, but was a regular on special teams and blocked a punt against Arkansas last season. The Seahawks also signed running back T.J. Harden this week. Rookie Jardarian Price is atop the depth chart with Zach Charbonnet still working his way back from a torn ACL
Seattle Seahawks rookie running back Jadarian Price (lower body) missed Friday's training camp practice with "lower-body soreness," according to Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune. We should find out more on the severity of Price's injury, but it doesn't sound all that serious. But if this injury were to linger for the first-rounder out of Notre Dame, both George Holani and Emanuel Wilson would become more interesting in fantasy football while the Seahawks wait for Zach Carbonnet (knee) to recover from his ACL tear last postseason. Early in training camp, Price has been behind Holani, but he has seen reps with the first-team offense and figures to be involved early on in his rookie season with Charbonnet sidelined. The 22-year-old should be the Seahawks' most attractive fantasy RB until Charbonnet returns, and managers should consider him a low-end RB2/high-end RB3/flex target with plenty of long-term upside. If fully healthy, Price should earn most of Seattle's backfield touches, but when Charbonnet returns, it could be a different story
Zach Charbonnet underwent surgery to repair the torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee on Feb. 20
Zach Charbonnet underwent surgery to repair the torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee on Feb. 20. He started training camp on the active/physically unable to perform list, and it seems likely he will begin the season on the reserve/PUP list. Seahawks coach Mike Macdonald provided an update on the running back’s rehab. “It’s just a progression that you’ve got to be able to do to get your body ready to play, especially at the running back position,” Macdonald said, via video from Brian Nemhauser of hawkblogger.com. “He’s going through it, hitting his hurdles, and we’re rolling. “We’ll see what the timetable is and how quickly he comes back.” Charbonnet injured his knee on his fifth carry in the divisional round of the playoffs after running for 730 yards and 12 touchdowns on 184 carries in the regular season. The Seahawks drafted running back Jadarian Price in the first round as a replacement for Kenneth Walker, who won the Super Bowl MVP award before leaving for Kansas City in the offseason
The Seahawks have signed running back T.J. Harden and cornerback Jordan Washington, waiving two players to make room. Harden was recently released by the Browns, while Washington previously tried out for the team
Seattle Seahawks rookie running back Jadarian Price is expected to handle the regular early-down work
The Seahawks activated rookie defensive tackle Deven Eastern from the active/physically unable to perform list on Thursday after he passed a physical, the team announced. The Seahawks made Eastern a seventh-round pick out of the University of Minnesota, the 242nd overall choice. He missed much of the offseason program with an undisclosed injury. Eastern will compete for a roster spot at nose tackle, with Brandon Pili the only true nose tackle on the roster. Jarran Reed and Byron Murphy II also play the position. Defensive back Nick Emmanwori and running back Zach Charbonnet are the only players the Seahawks have left on PUP
Jadarian Price was operating as the top back during the Seahawks' first full scrimmage
The Seahawks plan to waive running back Kenny McIntosh, Brady Henderson of ESPN reports. McIntosh currently is on the active/physically unable to perform list. He tore the ACL in his left knee during a training camp practice 366 days ago. The Seahawks made McIntosh a seventh-round pick in 2023, and he injured his knee in his first training camp. He played only 13 special teams snaps in three games as a rookie. In 2024, McIntosh appeared in every game, playing 75 offensive snaps and 173 on special teams. He rushed for 172 yards on 31 carries and caught three passes for 22 yards, while returning six kickoffs for 153 yards. The Seahawks drafted Jadarian Price in the first round and signed Emanuel Wilson in free agency. Eventually, Zach Charbonnet will return from his torn ACL
Jadarian Price is seeing a heavy workload in Seahawks camp, potentially setting him up for a significant role in the offense
Here's what we need for the 2026 NFL season regarding the Offensive Rookie of the Year Award: Former Notre Dame tailbacks vs. the field. Jeremiyah Love was the first running back off the board in April's draft as the No. 3 overall pick to Arizona, and the 2025 Doak Walker Award winner is the +300 favorite for OROY at BetMGM . And he should be favored walking into a likely featured role. But I'm here to talk about the crazy amount of action that his former Irish backfield-mate Jadarian Price is getting at that book priced +750. He was the final pick of Round 1 by the defending Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks and the only other running back chosen before the 90th overall pick. Wager on the NFL with the latest FanDuel promo code and get up to $1,000 in bet resets when you bet $5 for 5 days: Despite obviously playing second fiddle to Love last year for the Fighting Irish, Price was still named a third-team All-American by the Associated Press and a finalist for the Paul Hornung Award. Price had 113 carries for 674 yards and 11 scores, added two receiving scores and had 12 kick returns for 450 yards and two return touchdowns. He became only the ninth player in FBS history with at least 10 rushing scores and 10 kick-return scores in the same season and led the FBS in kickoff-return average at 37.5 yards per (minimum 10 returns). Seattle actually tried to trade out of Round 1 back in late April but couldn't find a taker, so it selected Price as the potential co-replacement for departed tailback and reigning Super Bowl MVP Kenneth Walker Jr., who signed a big free-agent deal with Kansas City. Walker, just the fourth player to change teams the offseason after winning Super Bowl MVP, had career highs of 1,309 scrimmage yards and 5.2 yards per touch in 2025. The Seahawks weren't about to pay Walker to a deal averaging $15 million per season when they had other holes to address. And with a good running back already on the roster in Zach Charbonnet . Well, when healthy. What likely added some urgency to selecting Price is that Charbonnet tore his ACL during the Divisional Round of the playoffs. Charbonnet is not likely to be ready for Week 1, so that could mean a ton of touches out of the box for Price over the likes of George Holani and Emanuel Wilson . Check out Jadarian Price props and more NFL picks at DraftKings, where new users get $150 in bonus bets paid within 14 days after they spend $5+: Perhaps that explains why Price has taken the most tickets (10.3%) of any player at BetMGM to win OROY and is second in handle (12.8%) – Seattle also ran the ball at the third-highest rate of any team in 2025. The only player on the entire board the sportsbook is more exposed on is Cardinals third-round QB Carson Beck only because he's a +3000 longer-shot and is taking a fair amount of action but not top three in either tickets or handle. DraftKings offers some rookie totals, and Price to rush for at least 750 yards is -110, while 1,000 is +225. Remember, the Seahawks are featured on this summer's version of HBO's "Hard Knocks" so we will all get a good glimpse of Price. Seattle rookies have been in camp since last Friday and veterans report this Friday. It may surprise you to know that no Seahawks player has won Offensive Rookie of the Year. NFL teams rarely make their top running back a kick returner as well, but that might be the case to open 2026 with Price. "We're going to run wide zone and he's going to run wide zone," Coach Mike Macdonald said recently to the team site regarding the rookie. "We're going to run some gap scheme. He's going to run some of that too and then the pass game he can come alive, too. I think that's part of our offense in general, that we can take another step in including our halfbacks in the pass game. Then, he's a great special teams player as well. The kick return stuff, we'll see how it shakes out in other phases, but he's going to come in and compete with the rest of the guys."
