All Field Gulls insights about Jadarian Price

Rookie first-round RB will not play in either preseason game (Chiefs Friday or Titans Sunday) due to injury management and high draft capital. Price missed a week with upper-leg soreness but has shown enough in padded practices—speed, decisiveness in cutting into outside-zone run gaps, and pass-catching ability—that the Seahawks view him as too valuable to risk in uncontrolled preseason environments. Macdonald and GM John Schneider have determined the running-back room is already thinned by injuries, making Price's preservation a priority heading into the season opener versus New England.

The 2026 first-round pick returned to full participation in Monday's non-contact practice for the first time since August 7, after missing five consecutive sessions and the preseason opener against the Dallas Cowboys while recovering from nagging leg soreness. Head coach Mike Macdonald never seemed overly concerned about the injury, and Price's return to the field indicates he had no reason to be. Price slotted into the team's starting offense and is trending toward playing in the regular season.

Seahawks first-round rookie running back is a talented pure rusher but must develop as a complete back at the professional level. His lack of catches at Notre Dame has been flagged as a concern for a team looking to increase running back involvement in the passing game. Price acknowledged in his first media availability that pass catching is an area he has worked on since high school and continues to improve; he also noted that pass protection remains a work-in-progress but he is improving day-to-day in camp.
