Rookie running back Jadarian Price left Sunday’s dominant 31-7 win over the Cardinals with an injury, sending a wave of genuine concern through the 12s, but Head Coach Mike Macdonald just delivered the best news possible: Price’s shoulder isn’t a major concern. Seriously, we can all breathe now.
The Game Day Scare and Price’s Production
It was a huge day for the Seahawks, rolling over the Cardinals 31-7 on their turf, and Price was absolutely contributing early. He churned out 52 yards on 13 carries, showing off that rookie fire. Then came the worry: he was pulled from the game and initially reported to have a chest injury. Nobody wants to see a promising rookie go down, especially not after contributing so solidly in an important early-season road win. Our boy Emanuel Wilson also had a fantastic day, leading the team with 21 carries for 92 yards, which shows we’ve got some serious depth in the backfield.
Macdonald’s Crucial Update
Speaking on Seattle Sports on Monday, Coach Macdonald cleared things up fast. The injury, he confirmed, is actually in the shoulder area, not the chest. And here’s the kicker, the quote we were all literally waiting for: “Some technical term for somewhere up in your shoulder, but it’s intact,” Macdonald said. “Nothing serious it seems like.” That’s the stuff we absolutely love to hear. An “intact” shoulder and “nothing serious” means our rookie phenom won’t be sidelined for long, if at all.
This is massive for the Hawks as we navigate the early regular season. Getting that positive update on Price means we keep our offensive weapons healthy and ready to roll. The energy is buzzing after that big win over the Cards, and knowing Price is good to go just adds to the confidence moving forward. What a start to the week for the Emerald City!
