KENNETH WALKER III NEWS

No practice Tuesday Coach Pete Carroll said Walker (ankle) won't participate in Tuesday's practice, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.

Impact Walker sat out Week 14 due to a right ankle injury, but he was able to play last Thursday against the 49ers after following an LP/FP/FP practice regimen. He ended up playing a typical 75 percent of snaps and notched 16 touches for 79 yards from scrimmage, but with the Seahawks embarking on Week 16 prep Tuesday, he'll kick it off with no activity. Carroll ominously said, "We'll see," when it comes to Walker this week, so his status will be one to watch as Saturday's game at Kansas City approaches.

Modest numbers in Week 15 loss Walker rushed 12 times for 47 yards and brought in four of five targets for 32 yards in the Seahawks' 21-13 loss to the 49ers on Thursday night.

Impact Walker actually managed to make some inroads against the league's best run defense, and his work in the passing game complemented his rushing production nicely. The rookie back didn't seem to show any ill effects from the ankle injury that had sidelined him in Seattle's Week 14 loss to the Panthers, and he'll now have extra time to get healthier before a critical Week 16 road contest versus the Chiefs a week from Saturday.

Seahawks' Walker expected to play vs. 49ers Walker missed the Seahawks' Week 14 matchup against the Panthers with an ankle injury.

Removed from injury report Walker (ankle) doesn't have an injury designation for Thursday's game against San Francisco, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Impact Less than an hour after head coach Pete Carroll said Walker would be listed as questionable, the final injury report shows the running back with no game designation at all. Walker is thus expected to step back in as the lead runner, though it'll be against a top defense and with some possibility that he cedes more snaps to Travis Homer than he typically would. Fellow running back DeeJay Dallas (ankle) is listed as questionable and could also be an option to avoid putting too much of the load on Walker.

Will be listed as questionable Walker (ankle) will be listed as questionable for Thursday's game against San Francisco, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Walker's return to full practice participation Tuesday seemingly puts him on track to play, so he may be closer to "probable," if that injury designation still existed. Head coach Pete Carroll said Wednesday that the rookie running back looked good in practice, but the team's decision to list him as questionable means fantasy managers should make sure Walker isn't listed among Seattle's inactives before Thursday's 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff. While Walker was sidelined last week, Travis Homer played 91 percent of the offensive snaps in a 30-24 loss to Carolina, but he carried only nine times for 26 yards and caught two passes for eight yards.

Logs full practice Walker (ankle) was listed as a full participant at Tuesday's practice, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.

Impact After sitting out the Week 14 loss to the Panthers, Walker was listed as a limited participant on Monday's estimated practice report. Seattle returned to the field Tuesday for a more traditional practice session, with Walker taking every rep in the session. The full practice likely puts Walker in position to reclaim his lead role out of the Seattle backfield Thursday against the 49ers, provided he avoids any setbacks during Wednesday's session. Travis Homer, who served as Seattle's primary back against Carolina, will likely move into more of a change-of-pace role Thursday in Walker's expected return.

Limited on estimated report Walker (ankle) was listed as a limited participant on Monday's practice estimate, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.

Impact Walker was unable to practice in any capacity last week after suffering what coach Pete Carroll termed a right calf strain Week 13 at the Rams, which sidelined him Sunday versus the Panthers. While the Seahawks didn't hold a session Monday, Walker would have managed some on-field work if the team had done so, meaning he's made some noticeable progress in his recovery effort. He'll have two more chances this week to mix into drills before Seattle potentially makes a ruling on his availability for Thursday's game against the 49ers. As for DeeJay Dallas (ankle), who also sat out Sunday, he again was listed as a non-participant Monday, while the rest of the members of the backfield (Travis Homer, Tony Jones) avoided any listed limitations.

DECEMBER 12, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Officially out for Week 14 Walker (ankle) is listed as inactive Sunday versus the Panthers.

Impact The Seahawks will be without both Walker and DeeJay Dallas (ankle) in their backfield for Week 14. According to Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com, the team is hopeful that Walker will be available for Thursday's game against the 49ers, but the rookie second-round pick first will need to take part in practice, which he was unable to do Wednesday through Friday due to his recovery from the right ankle strain he sustained last Sunday at the Rams. In Walker's place, some combination of Travis Homer, Tony Jones and Godwin Igwebuike will man running back for Seattle.

Unlikely to play Sunday Walker (ankle) isn't in line to play Sunday against the Panthers, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Walker and DeeJay Dallas are the question marks in the Seahawks backfield for Week 14 action due to their respective ankle injuries, and both are trending toward DNPs on Sunday, per Fowler. Walker himself is dealing with a strain that stems from getting his right ankle jammed last Sunday at the Rams, which didn't allow him to practice Wednesday through Friday. Despite the likely upcoming inactive status, Seattle is hopeful that the rookie second-round pick will be available for Week 15 against the 49ers on Thursday. The team's running backs that are slated to be active Sunday are Travis Homer, Tony Jones and practice-squad call-up Godwin Igwebuike.

Labeled as game-day call Head coach Pete Carroll said that Walker (ankle), who is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's contest against the Panthers, is considered a game-day decision, John Boyle...

Impact Walker and fellow running back DeeJay Dallas (ankle) were both labeled as game-day decisions after failing to practice in any capacity Wednesday through Friday. The lack of practice activity doesn't bode well for Walker's chances of playing against Carolina, but the Seahawks will presumably wait and see how he feels after an early workout Sunday before making a call on his status ahead of the 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff. With Dallas in a similar situation, the Seahawks are tentatively left with Travis Homer and Tony Jones as their healthy backs. If the Seahawks were to elevate one of the three running backs on their practice squad before Saturday's deadline for Week 14 roster moves, it would be an indication that at least one of Walker or Dallas isn't expected to play.

Deemed questionable for Week 14 Walker (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Panthers, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Impact Along with Walker, reserve DeeJay Dallas (ankle) is also listed as questionable, after both running backs weren't able to practice in any capacity Wednesday through Friday, per Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic. Seattle is tentatively left with Travis Homer and Tony Jones as the healthy running backs on the 53-man roster, though the team is presumably hopeful that at least one of Walker or Dallas will be able to play through their respective injuries. Even if Walker avoids the inactive list ahead of Sunday's 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff, he's no lock to take on his normal high-volume role out of the Seattle backfield. Before exiting early in last week's win over the Rams, Walker had played north of 71 percent of the snaps on offense in each of his prior six appearances while averaging 18.7 carries and three targets per contest.

No practice Thursday Walker (ankle) didn't practice Thursday, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.

Impact Walker has yet to take part in drills this week as he deals with a right ankle strain, which was the result of getting his right ankle jammed this past Sunday at the Rams. Meanwhile, fellow running back DeeJay Dallas (ankle) also has logged back-to-back DNPs, and Travis Homer (knee) got back to a full practice Thursday. Considering this last point, Homer seems to be the best bet of the trio to be available Sunday against the Panthers, with Friday's injury report potentially including a ruling on Walker's chances of playing in Week 14.

Not practicing Wednesday Coach Pete Carroll said Walker (ankle) won't take part in practice Wednesday, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.

Impact The same can be said for DeeJay Dallas (ankle), while Travis Homer (knee) and Tony Jones are slated to practice to kick off Week 14 prep. Walker himself is tending to an ankle strain that stems from jamming his right ankle this past Sunday at the Rams, which sidelined him beyond the midpoint of the second quarter. The Seahawks backfield is in flux ahead of Sunday's contest against the Panthers, but there's a chance some of the team's three practice-squad members (Darwin Thompson, Godwin Igwebuike and/or Wayne Gallman) are elevated and decent parts of the game plan this weekend.

Impact Carroll called Walker's injury "unusual," but it's a good sign that the rookie running back hasn't been ruled out for Week 14 already. Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports that the Seahawks have already received results from Monday's MRI, so it appears that further information on Walker's status could rely on what he's able to do in practice this week. Meanwhile, Travis Homer is nursing a sprained knee, and DeeJay Dallas suffered "somewhat of a high ankle issue," per Boyle, but was able to finish Week 13's win over the Rams.

Getting ankle checked Walker is scheduled to undergo tests Monday to evaluate what Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll has termed as a "jammed" right ankle, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Impact Walker exited in the first half of Sunday's 27-23 win over the Rams with the ankle injury, finishing the day with three carries for 36 yards across 14 snaps. According to Rapoport, Walker's injury is different from a sprain because the joint of his ankle jammed down, but the Seahawks are still trying to determine the severity of the issue. Walker's upcoming tests should shed more light on his availability for the Seahawks' Week 14 game against the Panthers.
