Seahawks running back Jadarian Price not only will miss Sunday’s game but at least the three games after that.
On Saturday, the Seahawks announced they placed Price on injured reserve with a chest injury.
Price initially injured his chest in Week 2 before aggravating it in Wednesday’s practice.
The final pick of the first round started each of the team’s first three games but has only 119 yards on 28 carries with two lost fumbles. He played 35.8 percent of offensive snaps while splitting time with Emanuel Wilson and George Holani.
The Seahawks will get Zach Charbonnet back at some point, having opened his 21-day practice window this week.
Seattle signed running back Velus Jones Jr. off the practice squad on Saturday.
The Seahawks also elevated cornerback Trevon Diggs and safety Maxen Hook from the practice squad for Sunday’s game.
Week 4 is here, and five teams are still looking for their first victory of 2026.
The Dolphins, Texans, Titans, Chargers, and Buccaneers are all 0-3. Only seven teams (most recently, the 2025 Texans) have made the playoffs after an 0-3 start.
None of the five teams play each other this weekend, which means all five could still be winless come Monday. Any that land at 0-4 will be facing a steep climb to the postseason.
Only one team in NFL history has qualified for the playoffs after starting 0-4. In 1992, the Chargers under first-year coach Bobby Ross turned it around and secured the AFC West crown. The Chargers won 11 of their 12 final games of the season.
The Chargers advanced through the wild-card round with a 17-0 win over the Chiefs, who had swept the Chargers during the regular season. The next week, the Dolphins eliminated the Chargers with a 31-0 blowout.
With 17 games and seven playoff spots per conference, it’s easier than ever for a team to turn it around after an 0-4 start. Still, many 0-4 teams start that way for a reason; they’re not very good. The 1992 Chargers were much better than their early-season record indicated, and they made it all the way to the final eight.
The Chargers have ruled out four players and list five others as questionable.
Safety Derwin James Jr. (hamstring), quarterback Trey Lance (groin), wide receiver Ladd McConkey (foot), safety Elijah Molden (hamstring) and cornerback Donte Jackson (concussion) are questionable.
Lance was active for the Week 3 game after being questionable. The Chargers have DJ Uiagalelei behind Lance on the depth chart.
Lance, James, Molden and McConkey were limited participants Friday. Jackson was a full participant.
The Chargers ruled out left guard Kayode Awosika (fibula), tight end Charlie Kolar (forearm), wide receiver Brenen Thompson (quadriceps) and defensive tackle Dalvin Tomlinson (hamstring).
Running back Keaton Mitchell, who wore a walking boot this week, was a full participant Friday and has no injury designation.
The Seahawks will face the Chargers without rookie running back Jadarian Price.
Head coach Mike Macdonald told reporters on Friday that Price has been ruled out for Sunday’s game. Price aggravated a chest injury during Wednesday’s practice and did not practice on Thursday to foreshadow Friday’s decision to hold the first-round pick out.
Emanuel Wilson and George Holani are the other backs on the 53-man roster. The Seahawks could also elevate Velus Jones from the practice squad.
Macdonald also updated the outlook for safeties Julian Love and Ty Okada. Love is set to return from his calf injury while Okada will be listed as questionable to play due to a hamstring injury.
Seahawks running back Jadarian Price was downgraded to out of practice Thursday, missing the session with a chest injury.
Price was limited in Wednesday’s practice.
He has 28 carries for 119 yards and four receptions for 21 yards, as well as two fumbles.
Running back Zach Charbonnet (knee) was limited in his return to practice. The Seahawks opened his 21-day return-to-practice window on Thursday as he works his way back from the ACL tear that ended his 2025 season in the divisional round of the playoffs.
Safety Ty Okada (hamstring) returned to limited work after sitting out Wednesday.
Offensive Grey Zabel (groin) and defensive tackle Jarran Reed (foot) had full participation after limited work Wednesday.
The rest of the report remained the same, with running back George Holani (rib) and safety Julian Love (calf) still limited.
