Seahawks place rookie running back Jadarian Price on injured reserve with chest injury.

The Seattle Seahawks placed rookie running back Jadarian Price on injured reserve after a chest injury sidelined him during practice, forcing him to miss at least three games. Newsday reported that Price, a first-round pick who rushed for 52 yards on 10 carries in his debut against New England, aggravated the injury during team practice this week. Meanwhile, safety Julian Love returned to action after missing the opener with a calf injury.
The Seahawks face multiple roster challenges heading into their matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers. Yakima Herald confirmed that safety Ty Okada, linebacker Chazz Surat, safety Dervin James Jr., and wide receiver Ladd McConkey were all ruled out for the upcoming game, creating significant depth concerns across the defense and receiving corps.
Jadarian Price's first NFL action lasted just one game. The first-round running back impressed in his debut against the Patriots, accumulating 52 rushing yards on 10 carries before sustaining the injury. Beloit Daily News reported that the chest injury he suffered during practice this week proved serious enough to warrant his placement on injured reserve, sidelining him for a minimum of three weeks.
To address the sudden hole in their backfield, the Seahawks are exploring veteran options. Bellingham Herald reported that GM John Schneider is considering signing former Pro Bowl running back Joe Mixon as a potential replacement for Price. Mixon, a two-time Pro Bowl selection, would bring experience and proven production to fill the void created by Price's absence.
Seattle's defensive depth chart took a hit before the Chargers matchup. Tri-City Herald confirmed that safety Ty Okada, linebacker Chazz Surat, safety Dervin James Jr., and receiver Ladd McConkey were ruled out, creating gaps on both sides of the ball. The combination of injuries forces the Seahawks to lean heavily on backup players during a critical early-season game.
One positive development came with Julian Love's return to the field. Newsday noted that Love missed the Patriots opener due to a calf injury but has recovered enough to rejoin the secondary for the Chargers game. His presence helps stabilize the secondary amid the broader injury crisis plaguing Seattle's roster this week.
