Who’s playing, not playing in preseason finale. Seahawks don’t need to see Price
Price, the rookie 1st-round pick, will not have played a snap in a game since last November with Notre Dame until Seattle’s opener Sept. 9.
The Seahawks have one major issue as they defend their Super Bowl title: replacing their departed Super Bowl MVP, Kenneth Walker. The team drafted Jadarian Price to replace Walker as their lead running back, but rookie Price will not play in Friday night's preseason finale against the Kansas City Chiefs. Coach Mike Macdonald explained that Price missed a week this month due to upper-leg soreness and that he wasn't originally planned to play in this game.
Other key players, including Zach Charbonnet, Emmanuel Wilson, and George Holani, are also questionable due to injuries. Fullback Robbie Ouzts is out for the season with a neck issue, and the running-back situation has been thin, leading the coaches to abort their offseason plan of converting Velus Jones Jr. to wide receiver. Starting QB Jalen Milroe will start for the Seahawks in Friday night's game against the Chiefs, as none of the team's 22 starters will play. The Seahawks still need to determine a third cornerback to play alongside Devon Withers.
