Patriots and Seahawks adjust backfield rotations for the season opener

The New England Patriots and Seattle Seahawks enter their season opener adjusting to personnel changes in their respective backfields. Seattle must navigate its first game since Kenneth Walker III departed for the Kansas City Chiefs in free agency. Rookie Jadarian Price is set to step into the primary running back role for the defending champions as Zach Charbonnet remains unavailable following an ACL injury sustained in last season's playoffs. Meanwhile, the Patriots expect Rhamondre Stevenson to handle the lead duties. Treveyon Henderson is ruled out for New England due to an ankle injury aggravated in late August. This change forces Corey Kiner into an elevated role for the team's initial game of the season.
