The Seattle Seahawks have encountered significant setbacks with their 2026 NFL Draft picks, as injuries have limited their contributions. Notable selections like running back Jadarian Price and safety Bud Clark have both been sidelined, with Price placed on injured reserve following a chest injury. General manager John Schneider's strategy focused on replenishing the Super Bowl roster, but only offensive guard Beau Stephens has seen consistent playing time thus far. The team's draft class continues to be impacted as cornerback Julian Neal also heads to injured reserve with a hamstring injury. The Seahawks look to adapt without key pieces in their lineup.
- •Jadarian Price has 28 carries for 119 yards before injury.
- •Bud Clark suffered a broken ankle during the preseason.
- •Julian Neal played only two defensive snaps before going on injured reserve.
- •Beau Stephens is the only draft pick getting regular playing time.
- •Four other late-round picks are on the practice squad.
