The Seattle Seahawks have been without first-round running back Jadarian Price over the past two days due to a “lower body soreness” issue, which naturally created cause for concern given he’d otherwise practiced all camp. Seattle has also dealt with the likes of high draft pick running backs Rashaad Penny and Kenneth Walker III missing parts of camp and/or preseason games due to injury as rookies.

Head coach Mike Macdonald’s latest update on Price is still not that specific, but at least the timeline should calm any worried fans down.

“We are going with a lower body soreness,” Macdonald said after Saturday’s Football Fest at Lumen Field. “Somewhere between the upper leg and lower body soreness. I’m not making light of it. It’s a minor issue right now. It’s a matter of days, so he will be back soon.”

The Seahawks, meanwhile, signed running back Justin Jones presumably to just take some carries in upcoming practices while Price looks to return soon.

The former Notre Dame back was on the sidelines at Football Fest after not being at Friday’s practice at all. With Price out, the bulk of the work at practice has gone to the trio of Emanuel Wilson, George Holani, and Velus Jones Jr. With Jacardia Wright also out injured, T.J. Harden has also taken some reps at the position.

Seattle has an off-day on Monday before resuming practice on Tuesday for their preseason opener against the Dallas Cowboys.
