Seahawks to hold rookie Jadarian Price out of preseason games

The Seattle Seahawks will not play rookie running back Jadarian Price in their upcoming preseason games against the Tennessee Titans and the Kansas City Chiefs. Price, who recently returned to practice after dealing with upper leg soreness, has shown enough potential that the team plans to protect him from injury in these non-competitive outings. The Seahawks are already facing injuries in their running back room, making the decision to rest Price more conservative. In his absence, running backs George Holani and Velus Jones Jr. are expected to see increased carries, and Drew Lock will start at quarterback for the first half against the Titans. The team’s usual starters, such as Sam Darnold and Jaxon Smith-Njigba, are also not scheduled to play in the preseason.
