Notre Dame rookie gets placed on IR after early season injury

One of Notre Dame football’s star rookies in the NFL, running back Jadarian Price has been placed on IR with a chest injury.

Former Notre Dame running back Jadarian Price was taken last in the first round of the NFL draft by the Seattle Seahawks. Many expected him to become the starting running back, especially after a successful season-opening win where he had the most carries with 10 for 52 yards. However, Price suffered a chest injury during Week 2 and was sidelined.

His performance did not improve in Week 3, leading to his placement on Injury Reserve after aggravating the injury during practice. He is expected to miss at least the next four weeks, including the Week 4 game. The Seahawks' run game might change when Price returns, as Zach Charbonnet is expected to return ahead of him and could take the RB1 spot.

Emanuel Wilson and the recent signing of Joe Milton could impact Price's position on the depth chart. The Seahawks have also signed RB Velus Jones Jr. off their practice squad, while placing Price on injured reserve.
