Jadarian Price will get more reps moving forward

Key Points:
- Seahawks running back Jadarian Price played only 24 snaps in his Week 1 NFL debut, less than half of the team's offensive plays, as the coaching staff managed his workload carefully.
- Offensive coordinator Brian Fleury confirmed Price will see increased playing time moving forward, emphasizing a deliberate and cautious approach due to Price being a rookie and not participating in the preseason.
- Price's limited usage was not due to any physical issues but rather a strategic decision to develop him properly on the "huge stage" of his first NFL game.
- With Super Bowl MVP Kenneth Walker III no longer on the team and Zach Charbonnet sidelined for at least four weeks recovering from an ACL injury, Price is currently the Seahawks' lead running back.
- In the season opener, Price recorded 10 carries for 52 yards and two receptions for six yards; his next chance to contribute significantly will be in the upcoming game against the Arizona Cardinals.
