Rookie running back Price hopes to build on his NFL debut with the Seahawks
Offensive coordinator Brian Fleury said the 22-year-old earned more reps after 10 carries for 52 yards in his debut.
Offensive coordinator Brian Fleury confirmed on Thursday that Seattle Seahawks rookie running back Jadarian Price will receive an increased workload moving forward after his NFL debut.
During his NFL debut in Week 1, Price played just 24 snaps, less than half the Seahawks' total offensive workload, prompting the team's decision to expand his role.
Against the New England Patriots, Price recorded 52 rushing yards on 10 carries and two catches for six yards, earning praise from teammate Jaxon Smith-Njigba: "I thought it was a great first game."
With quarterback Drew Lock making his first start this season, the Seahawks will visit the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday, where the running game remains critical to the game plan.
Price serves as the primary tailback while Zach Charbonnet recovers from an ACL tear and Kenneth Walker III remains in free agency, positioning the 22-year-old as central to Seattle's backfield.
