Jadarian Price injury status and ball-security concerns

Overview

As the 2026 NFL season approaches, rookie running back Jadarian Price is expected to anchor the Seattle Seahawks’ rushing attack. Following the departure of Kenneth Walker III to the Kansas City Chiefs and the recovery of Zach Charbonnet from a torn ACL, Price is positioned to lead the backfield.

Price enters the league following a productive collegiate career at Notre Dame, where he recorded 1,420 rushing yards and 18 touchdowns. In his NFL debut during a Week 1 victory against the New England Patriots, Price recorded 10 carries for 52 rushing yards. Head coach Mike Macdonald described the rookie’s performance as “decisive,” highlighting his ability to make cuts and protect the football.

However, Price’s early season has been marked by injury concerns and ball-security issues. After exiting the Week 2 matchup against the Arizona Cardinals with a shoulder injury, head coach Macdonald indicated that X-rays were negative and the injury did not appear serious, though his availability for the September 27 game against the Washington Commanders remained uncertain.

During the Week 3 game against the Commanders, Price faced scrutiny after losing a fumble early in the first quarter to linebacker Sonny Styles. This marked Price’s second fumble in three games, contributing to the end of Seattle’s 12-game winning streak in a 33-31 loss. While Macdonald expressed confidence that the rookie will “figure it out,” Price has since been ruled out for the Week 4 matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers after re-aggravating a chest injury during practice. The Seahawks are expected to rely on Emanuel Wilson and George Holani to fill the vacancy in the backfield.
