Jadarian Price left in the fourth quarter with a chest injury, and the Seattle Seahawks had to finish the game without their starting running back. His return was listed as questionable after he exited, even though the Seahawks were already up three scores.
The timing gave the injury extra weight. Price had put together 13 carries for 52 yards and one catch for 8 yards before leaving, which made the switch to Emanuel Wilson feel less like a reset than an interruption of a productive afternoon. Wilson handled the load from there and finished with close to 80 yards from scrimmage.
What made the moment stand out was what had already happened earlier. Price had fumbled early in the game for the first time in the NFL, then settled in and kept the Seattle offense moving before the chest issue forced him out. For a player described as the starting running back and top rookie, that sequence turned a comfortable lead into a short-term personnel test.
The injury itself remains the part that matters most. A chest issue can range from a brief knock to something that affects breathing, contact balance, or the ability to protect the ball, but the team did not say how serious it was. That leaves the immediate question not just whether Price could have returned that day, but whether the Seahawks would have to manage his workload beyond it.
For now, the cleanest read is that Price’s afternoon ended after a useful stretch and a scare, with Wilson carrying the backfield in his place. The Seahawks escaped the moment with a lead intact, but the next update on Price will tell them much more about how costly the injury really was.
