What happened: Saturday's transaction moves Seattle's first-round rookie off the active roster and gives Jones a 53-man spot after his practice-squad stint. Price entered the league as the 32nd overall pick out of Notre Dame, while Jones is a 2022 third-round pick out of Tennessee.

Why it matters: Seattle now replaces a recent first-round back with a veteran depth option as it sorts out its backfield for Sunday. The move also extends an uneven opening month for Jadarian Price, who had already been part of multiple availability updates this season.

By the numbers: Jones had 4 carries for 32 yards across 8 games in 2025, split between the Saints and Seahawks. Price was selected No. 32 overall in the 2026 draft, and Jones entered the league as the No.

What to watch: Seattle's inactive list and backfield usage Sunday will show how large Jones' role becomes right away. Any follow-up roster move around Price's spot is the next item to watch.
