Jadarian Price (chest) downgrades, sits out Thurs.

Charbonnet will return to practice this week. The team now has 21 days to officially activate him from the injured reserve. It’s unclear how much of that window they will use to get him up to full speed. He has to miss at least one more game while on the PUP list. Charbonnet tore his ACL in Seattle’s first playoff game last year. The team talked about his quick recovery throughout the offseason and that will be the case, even if he uses all three weeks of his practice window. Once he returns, Charbonnet will at least take over the roles of George Holani and Emanuel Wilson, who have been splitting the backfield with Jadarian Price so far. He could even work himself into the starting job if Price continues to struggle with fumbles.

Price was able to play in Week 3 despite the chest ailment, although he was benched for most of the first half after giving up a second fumble of the season. If Price can’t go, George Holani and Emmanuel Wilson — not necessarily in that order — would be the replacements, and are likely to be involved regardless.

The fact that this is even being considered is good news. Rookie RB Jadarian Price has not yet carved out a featured role for himself, so Charbonnet could feasibly return to his 2025 role—or more. If available, he is probably worth stashing in 12-team leagues at this time.

Price gained 11 yards on his first carry, lost four on the next, and then was benched after losing a fumble that resulted in a Washington touchdown a few plays later. He did return in the second half and showed much more burst than Emanuel Wilson and George Holani; although that’s not much of a compliment. He’ll likely see a similar — and frustrating — amount of touches in Week 4 versus the Chargers at home.

Seahawks coach Mike Macdonald said Price’s injury responded well to treatment this week. The rookie running back got “a ton of reps” in practices and is reportedly ready to be “full go” against the Commanders on Sunday. Price is a low-end RB2/FLEX for the occasion, after splitting carries with RB Emanuel Wilson and ceding passing down reps to RB George Holani (knee) in Week 2.

Price is on track to play in Week 3 against the Commanders, but he remained limited today while receiving specialist, running back George Holani (knee) upgraded to full participation. North-south running back Emanuel Wilson led the team with 21 carries in Week 2. The Seahawks could employ a committee again this week.

Price entered Wednesday expected to practice and officially received a limited designation due to a chest injury he suffered in Week 2. Also limited was George Holani (knee). With both backs starting out limited, their Week 3 statuses are up in the air. If one or both can’t go, Emanuel Wilson is the primary beneficiary for fantasy purposes against the Commanders.

If Price does practice today, we expect it to be a limited session, since Seahawks coach Mike Macdonald doesn’t even know if Price will suit up today. Fantasy managers should tentatively expect Price to play in Week 3 against the Commanders, but the situation still seems fluid. Seahawks RB Emanuel Wilson will likely remain involved if Price is active. He would take on lead rushing duties if Price cannot go.

He pointed to the ailment being a “technical term for somewhere up in your shoulder, but it’s intact.” It doesn’t sound like we should expect Price to miss major time, but it wouldn’t be surprising if he were limited or missed some practice days this week in the wake of an injury. Emanuel Wilson will be the backup plan and a worthy waiver claim after his 22-carry performance against the Cardinals last week.

Wilson failed to catch his lone target. The Seahawks’ burly back began rotating in on the team’s fourth drive and traded touches with starting RB Jadarian Price thereafter. On the fifth drive, Price got the first touch on 1st-and-goal, but Wilson subbed in and took three unsuccessful carries in a row, leading to a turnover on downs. That did not deter the Seahawks from using him, though. Wilson remained heavily involved for the rest of the game and generally served as the team’s lead rusher once Price exited with a chest injury in the fourth quarter. Wilson did cede high-value touches, even in scoring position, to RB George Holani, though Wilson handily out-touched him 21-5. If Price cannot play in Week 3 against the Commanders, Wilson would warrant RB2/FLEX consideration.
