Jadarian Price Shows Seahawks His Receiving Potential

Published November 10, 2026: Jadarian Price made his strongest impression as a receiver in Seattle’s 17-3 win over the Cardinals. The rookie caught four passes for a team-high 54 yards, including a 17-yard gain after making linebacker Cody Simon miss. He also rushed nine times for 24 yards.

Price has appeared in only five of Seattle’s nine games. After fumbling in consecutive games, he was benched for much of the September 27 loss to Washington, then missed October with a chest injury. He has 47 carries for 172 yards and no touchdowns this season.

Price and Zach Charbonnet have returned to a running back group that struggled early. Over the past two weeks, the Seahawks have averaged 3.73 yards on their backs’ 42 combined carries. Seattle remains last in the NFL in rushing expected points added for the season, though its numbers have improved recently.

Price also made a 15-yard catch on third-and-8 during a touchdown drive. He said he had worked on his receiving and credited coaches with giving him more chances. Receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba said the threat of passes to Price makes the offense more dangerous.

Seattle still needs another consistent offensive contributor alongside Smith-Njigba. Quarterback Sam Darnold will miss the Week 10 game against Las Vegas, with Drew Lock expected to start. Coach Mike Macdonald said Darnold should be ready after the team’s bye in Week 12. Macdonald said Price should keep improving as he gets healthier and builds on recent playing time.
