Seahawks RB Zach Charbonnet has been placed on the reserve PUP list, knocking him out for at least the first four games of the season as he continues to work back from his January ACL tear.

After missing a little over a week with a sore knee, Seahawks RB Jadarian Price returned to practice Monday and took "the majority of the reps with the 1s," per insider Brian Nemhauser.

Seahawks RB Jadarian Price missed his second straight practice on Saturday. HC Mike Macdonald said that the rookie is dealing with knee soreness and should be back in a few days. Price has been one of Seattle’s training-camp standouts, even flashing as a receiver despite being used there rarely in college. He’s expected to open as the starter, at least until Zach Charbonnet returns from his ACL injury.

The defending Super Bowl champion Seahawks' first-round pick Jadarian Price has been turning heads in his first training camp. Brian Nemhauser, a beat reporter covering the team, said on the NFL Spotlight show, “[Price] has just been a star in the first part of training camp… I can tell you he’s going to be a very good receiver.”

Seahawks beat writer Gregg Bell expects new OC Brian Fleury to "feature" the RBs more prominently in the passing game this season. Seattle RBs saw a combined 14% target share last year, sixth-lowest league-wide.

SI's Albert Breer visited Seahawks training camp early this week and had an interesting take on the return timeline for RB Zach Charbonnet in his recovery from a January ACL tear. Charbonnet's currently on the physically unable to perform list but eligible to come off at any point the team deems him ready to practice. If he stays on the PUP throughout camp, the RB would be eligible to stay on the list into the season. That would cost him at least the first four games.

Multiple insiders expect the Seahawks to deploy another committee backfield in 2026. And that's even before RB Zach Charbonnet is ready to return from his torn ACL. Seattle spent the 32nd pick of this spring's draft on RB Jadarian Price, but RB George Holani and potentially RB Emanuel Wilson are also expected to factor in this season.

The Seahawks placed RB Zach Charbonnet on the Physically Unable to Perform list ahead of training camp. Charbonnet tore his left ACL in January during the Divisional Round, and return timelines have ranged from October to December. So this move isn't a surprise. He could come off the list at any point during camp, but that still appears unlikely. He could also open the regular season on the PUP list, which would sideline him for at least four games.

The Seattle News Tribune's Gregg Bell came away from the Seahawks' minicamp on Tuesday believing that RB Zach Charbonnet could be back from his torn ACL sooner than expected. Bell notes that HC Mike Macdonald said shortly after Charbonnet's surgery in mid-February that Charbonnet wouldn't do anything this spring. Yet there he was working off to the side of Tuesday's practice for about 15 minutes with trainers. Charbonnet was working through "lateral movement and other low-impact drills," according to Bell. It was the first time he was on the field in a practice open to the media this offseason. "Charbonnet’s work, albeit incremental, at this minicamp suggests he could be at the top of the plans Macdonald and new offensive coordinator Brian Fleury have for the start of the season," Bell wrote.

The Seattle Seahawks selected Notre Dame RB Jadarian Price in Round 1 of the 2026 NFL Draft. Price was overshadowed by Jeremiyah Love but clearly showed enough on that limited work. After rebounding from a ruptured Achilles in 2022, he displayed consistent burst, power, and efficiency. That produced 6.0 career yards per carry and 10.8 per catch (albeit on only 15 career receptions). The Athletic’s Dane Brugler went so far as to say Price may have generated Heisman buzz had he transferred out of Notre Dame for 2025. Instead, Price hits the NFL with limited wear on his body. Among the 20 RBs invited to the NFL Combine, Price ranked 17th in 2025 rushing market share (27.5%) and third in yards after contact per attempt (3.92). He ranked second in 2025 missed tackles forced per attempt (0.28) and seventh in receiving yards per route run (1.23). He is currently 22 years old.

Notre Dame RB Jadarian Price measured 5'11 and 203 pounds at the Combine — seven pounds lighter than his listed college weight. That puts him in just the 18th percentile among Combine RBs since 1999. Price then ran a 4.49-second 40-yard dash. His 99.9 Speed Score, which accounts for weight and 40 time, lands in the 66th percentile. None of this is overly damaging, but it’s a bit underwhelming for the near-consensus No. 2 RB in this class. Price played behind Jeremiyah Love at Notre Dame and was lightly used, averaging just 8.3 carries and 0.4 catches per game over the past two seasons. There are still plenty of big plays on his tape: 19.2% of his career runs gained 15+ yards -- the second-highest rate among 27 of this year’s top RB prospects. But the measurables raise some concern that his production may have been fueled more by situation than individual talent. Price averaged a middling +0.8 yards per carry over expected this past season. He still looks like the No. 2 RB in the class, but the gap between Love and the rest of the group appears as wide as ever.
