Friday's practice report is final for both teams. Seattle rules out Price (chest). Charbonnet is also listed out, but he's been on the PUP list all season and wasn't eligible to play this week, so he's not a new loss. Chazz Surratt (calf) and Ty Okada (hamstring) are questionable.
| Team | Player | Injury | Game status |
|---|---|---|---|
| SEA | Jadarian Price | Chest | Out |
| SEA | Chazz Surratt | Calf | Questionable |
| SEA | Ty Okada | Hamstring | Questionable |
| LAC | Brenen Thompson | Quadricep | Out |
| LAC | Dalvin Tomlinson | Hamstring | Out |
| LAC | Kayode Awosika | Fibula | Out |
Thursday's practice reports are in for the three games with the most NFC playoff-race stakes this week, and Philadelphia's is still the longest: DeVonta Smith and Zack Baun, who have each played more than 94% of the Eagles' snaps this season, missed practice Wednesday and Thursday.

The Seahawks are placing Jadarian Price on IR per @AdamSchefter. Big shakeup in the backfield
Trying to make sense of the Seahawks start to the season with @realjeffsimmons today was helpful, if not conclusive. His best take came at the very end. Which Seahawks are playing above expectation so far?
One of the most surprising numbers I have found so far is the Seahawks 69.2% pressure rate when Dante Fowler Jr. is part of a 4-man front for Seattle. This is noisy on/off splits and small sample, but it does raise the question whether he should get more snaps.
SEAHAWKS SATURDAY: Safeties Return, Price Sits
A couple interesting tidbits from today's HB Daily... 1. A look at how the Seahawks defensive pressure and performance has differed when Leonard Williams has lined up outside versus inside (which he's doing more this season) 2. The Seahawks pressure rate with Dante Fowler Jr. on the field in a 4-man front is 69.2%! He just has not been on the field for many dropbacks so far. Data: @SumerSports
The Rams had one hell of an offseason, with a goal of revamping their defense. Through three weeks, it has not gone as planned. 3 of the 4 stars they added are injured and won't play vs PHI. The pass rush has actually regressed. Anybody who dismisses them is foolish, but a rough start for sure.
