The Seattle Seahawks have decided to hold rookie Jadarian Price out of the upcoming preseason games, signaling their confidence in his role as the likely RB1. Kenneth Walker's departure and Zach Charbonnet’s injury have created a more prominent opportunity for Price, who was selected with the 32nd pick in the draft. Seahawks officials cite Price's speed and ability in outside-zone runs as reasons to protect him during the preseason. Price's absence from the games is seen as an indication of his importance to the team's offensive plans this season.
