Seahawks | Rookie RB Jadarian Price to IR, out at least four weeks Sat Oct 3, 03:54 PM
The Seahawks are placing first-round pick RB Jadarian Price on injured reserve due to the chest injury he aggravated at practice this week. Price will now miss a minimum of four weeks. He had already been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Chargers.
| Footballguys view: Price will miss at least the next four games, including matchups against the San Francisco 49ers, Denver Broncos, and Kansas City Chiefs, making the return of Zach Charbonnet, who was designated to return to practice this week, even more meaningful. Charbonnet's status will be something to watch over the next two weeks. Taking Price's place on the roster is Velus Jones Jr., who was signed off the practice squad Saturday afternoon. |

Seahawks RB Zach Charbonnet was shown on video working to the side early in practice on Friday.
| Footballguys view: Charbonnet was designated to return from the PUP list on Thursday, opening his practice window. The Seahawks have a 21-day practice window to activate Charbonnet. He'll need to be on the active 53-man roster by Oct. 22. |

The Seahawks will face the Chargers without rookie running back Jadarian Price.
| Footballguys view: Price appeared on track to play this week, but aggravated his chest/shoulder injury in practice and will not play. In his absence, George Holani and Emanuel Wilson should split the duties, both garnering RB3 rankings in Week 4. Zach Charbonnet returned to practice this week, and if Price misses extended time, his return could be a huge benefit. We'll wait for more news on Price's injury, but fantasy managers can replace Price in their lineups until then. |

Seahawks RB Jadarian Price did not practice on Thursday because of a chest injury, a step back after he was limited on Wednesday. RB Zach Charbonnet returned to practice Thursday after being designated to return from the PUP list. S Ty Okada, who did not practice Wednesday, also returned on Thursday.
| Footballguys view: With Charbonnet back at practice, the team opened a 21-day window for him to return to the lineup (or get shut down for the year). We'll see if Price can play in Week 4, and this DNP on Thursday is not a great sign. Emanuel Wilson and George Holani would do more if Price can't play (and Charbonnet is not quite ready to return in Week 4). |

Seahawks RB Jadarian Price (chest) and RB George Holani (rib) were limited participants in Wednesday's practice. S Julian Love, who missed the Week 3 game with a calf injury, returned as a limited participant, while S Ty Okada (hamstring), who has missed the first three games of the season, was the only Seahawk who did not practice.

Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald said on Monday that the team has not lost faith in starting RB Jadarian Price after the rookie first-round pick lost a fumble for the second week in a row on Sunday. Macdonald said Price must "take care of the ball."
| Footballguys view: When Price lost a fumble in a win over Arizona, the Seahawks went right back to him on the first play of their next drive. They didn't show the same patience after Price fumbled at the 11:06 mark of the first quarter of Sunday's loss in Washington. His next carry wasn't until the 12:49 mark of the third quarter, though he was targeted twice in that span. Price (five carries for 15 yards) played 19 of Seattle's 67 offensive snaps, while Emanuel Wilson (nine carries for 14 yards) and George Holani (eight touches for 58 yards) each played 24 snaps. |

Head coach Mike Macdonald said the Seahawks will decide by Tuesday whether to open Zach Charbonnet's 21-day practice window this week.
| Footballguys view: Charbonnet is on the physically unable to perform list after having ACL surgery in February. He has to spend at least one more game on the PUP list, but he has been eligible to begin practicing as of last week. We'll be watching for more. |

Seattle Seahawks QB Sam Darnold completed 31 of 45 passes for 379 yards with 4 touchdowns and 2 interceptions in Sunday's 33-31 loss to the Washington Commanders. He was projected for 16.1 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 29.7.
| Footballguys view: The Commanders pass defense is still suspect, but Darnold's pick-six to Kain Medrano was the deciding play in the big upset. Darnold should be a low-end QB1 going forward with the Seahawks running game unable to get any push and first round-pick Jadarian Price stalling out in this game. |

Seattle Seahawks RB Jadarian Price ran 5 times for 15 yards, also caught 1 pass for 7 yards on 3 targets and lost 1 fumble in Sunday's 33-31 loss to the Washington Commanders. He was projected for 10.8 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 0.7.
| Footballguys view: Price was not in at the goal line and appeared to lose the trust of the coaches during this game. It's hard to imagine him getting goal line carries when Zach Charbonnet is back, and maybe even before Charbonnet is back. For now, Price is a what-the-heck flex, but the matchups against the Chargers next week is very good. |

Seattle Seahawks WR Jaxon Smith-Njigba completed 1 of 1 passes for 14 yards and also caught 10 passes for 128 yards and two touchdowns on 14 targets in Sunday's 33-31 loss to the Washington Commanders. He was projected for 18.9 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 30.4.
| Footballguys view: Just a routine day so far this season for a player who is going to test whether a wide receiver can win MVP over a quarterback as long as he stays healthy. |
Jaxon Smith-Njigba player page
Seahawks RB Jadarian Price, who was limited in practice on Wednesday and Thursday, practiced fully on Friday and is playing in Sunday's game at the Commanders. "He's taken a ton of reps, I'm excited to see him go play," head coach Mike Macdonald said. "He's ready to go."
| Footballguys view: Price has looked ready for NFL action from the start of his career and can be relied on as an RB2 in this week's matchup against the Commanders. He's expected to split some touches with George Holani and Emanuel Wilson, as he has through the first couple of weeks. But Price's role and talent make him the preferred back in fantasy. It doesn't sound like there are any limitations on his workload, so treat him as you would without an injury designation. |

Seahawks QB Sam Darnold (glute) has been cleared to play against the Commanders on Sunday. Darnold had returned to full practice this week.
| Footballguys view: When Darnold exited Week 1's game and was taken via ambulance to a hospital, people assumed the worst. But after missing just a game, Darnold will be back out there on Sunday. Drew Lock filled in formidably for Darnold, helping the reigning Super Bowl champs get off to a 2-0 start. They'll get the Commanders this week, one of the league's worst pass defenses. The offense's low-volume nature keeps Darnold in the QB2 discussion, but his return is a boon for the Seahawks' other weapons. |

Seahawks QB Sam Darnold, who has missed most of the first two weeks with a glute injury, returned to practice on a limited basis Wednesday. Per ESPN.com, head coach Mike Macdonald said, "I don't know what 'fully healthy' means. I think we'll make a decision at some point before Friday's over. I don't think we'd go into the weekend not knowing if he's going to play. But it's on a good track right now, assuming today goes well." In Darnold's absence, backup QB Drew Lock has completed 35 of 48 passes for 422 yards and four touchdowns, leading Seattle to a 2-0 start against the Patriots and Cardinals.
| Footballguys view: This is the week most thought Darnold would return to the lineup. Darnold was banged up early in Week 1, and Drew Lock has done a good job running the offense in his absence. The team is 2-0, and Darnold is looking to keep them on the winning track. If he plays in Week 3 against the Commanders, Darnold is an option for Fantasy GMs in start-2QB/Superflex leagues. |

Seahawks QB Sam Darnold (glute) will participate in practice on Wednesday, September 23, per head coach Mike Macdonald, according to NFL.com's Around The NFL. Darnold will ramp up his participation as the week progresses, and Macdonald expects to have a decision on his availability for Week 3 by Friday.
| Footballguys view: We'll likely see the Seahawks increase Darnold's workload in practice every day, with a decision coming by Friday at the latest. Drew Lock has done a fine job with Darnold out, but it always seemed like Darnold wouldn't be out for more than a week or two when he was first injured in Week 1. Stay tuned. |

Seahawks rookie running back Jadarian Price left Sunday's win over the Cardinals with an injury, but it doesn't look like he is facing an extended absence from the lineup. Price was said to have a chest injury during the game, and head coach Mike Macdonald was asked about his status during an appearance on Seattle Sports on Monday. Macdonald said the injury is actually in the shoulder area, but that it isn't a source of major concern to the team. "Some technical term for somewhere up in your shoulder, but it's intact," Macdonald said. "Nothing serious, it seems like."
| Footballguys view: Price ran 13 times for 52 yards on Sunday. Emanuel Wilson led the Seahawks with 21 carries for 92 yards. If Price misses time, Wilson and George Holani will share the backfield. The Seahawks play the Commanders in Week 3. |

The Seattle Seahawks received encouraging news on rookie running back Jadarian Price after he left Sunday's game against the Arizona Cardinals with a chest injury. Price exited during the fourth quarter of Seattle's NFC West matchup at State Farm Stadium. He was evaluated by the Seahawks' medical staff before head coach Mike Macdonald provided an update after the game. Macdonald said Price's X-rays came back negative, giving Seattle some initial relief after the rookie was forced to leave the game.
| Footballguys view: The first-round pick had played a meaningful role before leaving. Price finished with 13 carries for 52 yards and added one reception for eight yards against Arizona. Seattle has also used Emanuel Wilson and George Holani in the backfield. Any absence for Price could lead to a larger workload for both players, depending on his recovery. For now, the negative X-rays give the Seahawks a positive starting point following Price's exit. The team will continue to monitor the chest injury and determine when he is ready to return. |

Seahawks.com reports that WR Jaxon Smith-Njigba caught nine passes for 155 yards and three touchdowns, including an 82-yard score on Seattle's second offensive play, in a 31-7 win over the Cardinals on Sunday.
| Footballguys view: Starting in place of injured QB Sam Darnold, QB Drew Lock completed 19 of 26 passes for 235 yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions for a 139.1 passer rating. RB Emanuel Wilson led Seattle's rushing attack with 21 carries for 91 yards, while RB Jadarian Price added 52 yards on 13 carries before exiting with a chest injury. Seattle plays the Commanders in Week 3. |

Seahawks QB Sam Darnold (glute) is listed as out on the Week 2 injury report. Darnold did not participate in Saturday's practice.
| Footballguys view: No surprise here. Darnold was always likely to miss Week 2, but there's been optimism since he sustained the injury that he could be back within a month. Reports indicate Darnold might also miss Week 3, but if he does, he shouldn't be out much longer than that. We'll see Drew Lock get the start for the Seahawks with Jalen Milroe as the No.2 quarterback. |

Jeremy Fowler, from ESPN, reports Seattle Seahawks QB Sam Darnold (glute) will miss Week 2 and "possibly" Week 3.
| Footballguys view: The team has Drew Lock as their starter while Darnold misses time. This is a short-term injury, and Seahawks HC Mike Macdonald does not anticipate putting the veteran quarterback on Injured Reserve. |
Sam Darnold player page
Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold is unlikely to land on injured reserve with a glute injury, though his return timeline remains unclear, leaving his status up in the air for Week 2's game against the Arizona Cardinals.
| Footballguys view: The team originally called Darnold's issue a hip injury, but a team spokesperson told The Athletic on Monday that the hip joint was unaffected. Avoiding injured reserve would mean Darnold, who departed Wednesday's game after only five plays, is likely to return within the next four games. During Monday's practice, backup Drew Lock and third-stringer Jalen Milroe were the only quarterbacks on the field. The Seahawks' next practice will be Wednesday. |

Seattle Seahawks QB Sam Darnold suffered an "unusual muscle strain," and Tom Pelissero reports injured reserve is not being considered at this time.
| Footballguys view: Drew Lock is set to start in Week 2 against the Cardinals. At least, he's most likely to start, as there is zero timetable for Darnold. If no IR is being considered, then Darnold could be back within the month. Stay tuned. |

Seattle Seahawks QB Sam Darnold, who suffered a hip injury against the New England Patriots Wednesday night, is expected to miss next week's game, but he should be back sooner rather than later, sources say.
| Footballguys view: With 17 days from Wednesday until their Week 3 game against the Washington Commanders, Darnold gets a schedule break as well. Drew Lock should be added in superflex/start-2QB leagues. He will be the starter for the Seahawks while Darnold is out. If things progress as expected, Darnold will be back after only missing a game or two. |

Seahawks QB Sam Darnold, who injured his hip in the second series of Wednesday night's win over the Patriots, received positive news following a CT scan, and coach Mike Macdonald said doctors ruled out a fracture.
| Footballguys view: Darnold will have an MRI Thursday for more info, but the belief after an X-Ray and CT scan is that Darnold avoided a major injury. We'll follow up after the MRI, but given the lack of clarity on the injury, Macdonald said he didn't know what Darnold's status would be for Seattle's Week 2 matchup against Arizona. Drew Lock took over for Darnold and played well, hitting 16 of 22 for 187 passing yards and 1 TD pass to Jaxon Smith-Njigba. |

The Seahawks list S Nick Emmanwori and WR Tory Horton as questionable for Wednesday vs the Patriots. S Ty Okada is out.
| Footballguys view: The Seahawks have been saying very little about Emmanwori's recovery from ankle surgery performed in July. He's been listed as a limited participant in practice and will be a game-time decision Wednesday night. |
Seahawks coach Mike Macdonald says RB Zach Charbonnet looks "awesome" in everything he's doing while rehabbing from reconstructive knee surgery in February. Macdonald went on to say Charbonnet looks "dang good."
| Footballguys view: How soon could Charbonnet return? Macdonald wasn't specific, but revealed the RB is on "an aggressive timetable." That doesn't mean Charbonnet is headed back to the lineup soon. Seattle placed him on the reserve/physically unable to perform list, guaranteeing that he will miss at least the first four games of the regular season. That makes Seattle's Week 5 matchup against the San Francisco 49ers on October 11 the first game for which Charbonnet could potentially be available. To be clear, Macdonald did not say October 11 is Charbonnet's target. So it's a situation we'll continue to monitor. |

The Seahawks have been saying very little about safety Nick Emmanwori's recovery from offseason ankle surgery that happened in July. On Sunday, they were required to say one specific thing -- whether and to what extent he practiced. On the first official injury report of the season, Emmanwori was listed as a limited participant due to the ankle.
| Footballguys view: Not practicing on Sunday was safety Ty Okada (hamstring). Limited were guard Anthony Bradford (knee), receiver Tory Horton (hamstring), and tackle Josh Jones (quadriceps). Full participants were tight end A.J. Barner (oblique), cornerback Julian Neal (quadricep), and running back Emmanuel Wilson (hamstring). We'll be watching for more in advance of Wednesday's game against the Patriots. |
Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com expects to see "a lot of two tight ends on the field" for the Seahawks under new offensive coordinator Brian Fleury. He said both AJ Barner and Elijah Arroyo will be "major" parts of the offense. Fowler also said that he expects Rashid Shaheed to be "more of a complete receiver" in the offense this year, and that he should get more targets this season.
| Footballguys view: Fowler indicated that perhaps Jaxon Smith-Njigba's astronomical 36% target share could go down with Shaheed getting "more of that", and defenses will certainly be trying to force Sam Darnold to look to someone other than Smith-Njigba early in the season. Arroyo has made a lot of strides in his second offseason after the team took him in the second round last year, and he could also help take some heat off of Darnold with his vertical speed and athleticism in the middle of the field while providing a heavier personnel set to benefit the running game, which will be led in Week 1 by rookie Jadarian Price, who Fowler says will be a big factor but won't get 20 carries a game because Seattle likes to use two or three backs. |

Andrew Destin, from The Athletic, reports Seattle Seahawks TE AJ Barner will likely see an uptick in production, as should backup TE Elijah Arroyo this year.
| Footballguys view: As the article notes, new Seahawks OC Brian Fleury worked as the TE coach with the 49ers for four seasons, and the position could be featured more than some think. Barner had multiple offseason surgeries, but he's healthy now and ready to build on his 2025 career-best numbers of 52 catches for 519 yards and six touchdowns. He's a low-end TE2 in non-PPR formats, but the upside is there for Barner to work into more of a high-end TE2 this season. |

Andrew Destin, from The Athletic, suggests the Seattle Seahawks will feature rookie RB Jadarian Price on early downs while RB George Holani plays the third-down, short-yardage and goal-line roles.
| Footballguys view: Fantasy GMs are trying to navigate this early-season split for the Seahawks running backs. Zach Charbonnet (PUP, knee) will return later this year from injury, but to begin the season we'll see both Price and Holani featured in different ways. We see Price and Holani as RB3/flex plays with their current roles. |

Rookie Jadarian Price is ready to lead the Seattle Seahawks' backfield while it waits for Zach Charbonnet to return.
| Footballguys view: Price is the clear-cut No. 1 running back in Seattle, and backing him up will be George Holani, who gained just 73 yards on 22 carries last season, and Emanuel Wilson, a career backup in Green Bay who signed with the Seahawks this offseason. As ProFootballTalk.com suggested, the good news for the Seahawks is that Price got rave reviews in the offseason, with head coach Mike Macdonald saying he was ready for a big workload and quarterback Sam Darnold calling Price a special player. |

Seattle Seahawks RB George Holani will be mixed in with RB Jadarian Price in the running game and on third down.
| Footballguys view: Rookie Jadarian Price is ready to lead the Seahawks' backfield while it waits for Zach Charbonnet to return. But ESPN.com's Brady Henderson believes the team will include a heavy dose of Holani, whose receiving and pass-blocking skills seem perfectly suited for third-down work. With a RB64 ADP and 17th-round price, Holani is essentially a free square play. |
Seattle Seahawks RB Zach Charbonnet (knee) was placed on the Reserve/Physically Unable to Perform list Sunday, Aug. 30.
| Footballguys view: Charbonnet began training camp on the PUP while working his way back from ACL surgery. All indications are that his rehab has gone well, but he was hurt in the divisional round of the playoffs in January and didn't have surgery until late in February. He won't be eligible to play until the Seahawks host the 49ers in Week 5, but a change to the PUP rules this year means he can begin practicing as early as Week 3. Jadarian Price and George Holani will be the team's top two backs until Charbonnet is ready to contribute. |

| Footballguys view: Any player on the PUP list must miss the first four weeks of the regular season. It sounds like Charbonnet might be ready to get on the field before then. Now, whether or not he's 100 percent healthy at the time is a different story. The Seahawks open the season with Jadarian Price and George Holani as their top backs. |
