Seahawks Rookie RB Price Out After Fumbles and Injury

Jadarian Price, a first-round draft choice for the Seahawks, is experiencing a challenging rookie season. Price lost fumbles in two successive games, a rare occurrence for the team's lead back. He then sustained a shoulder injury near his chest during his second NFL game last month and aggravated it in practice this past Wednesday.

As a result of his injury, Price was declared out for the upcoming game against the Los Angeles Chargers. The Seahawks subsequently placed him on injured reserve on Saturday, sidelining him for at least the next four games. His earliest potential return is November 2nd against Chicago. To address the depth at running back, the Seahawks signed Velus Jones Jr. from the practice squad to their 53-man active roster. Cornerback Trevon Diggs and safety Maxen Hook were also elevated from the practice squad for the Chargers game.
