Active against Atlanta Walker (illness) is active for Sunday's game against the Falcons, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.

Impact Walker appeared on the injury report Saturday with an undisclosed illness, but he will be on the field for Sunday's matchup. He has been Seattle's lead back this season, though it's unclear if his health will interfere with his usage against Atlanta. Walker will also look to get back to his early-season form, as he's managed only 51 yards on 19 carries combined across the last two games.

Seahawks News: Star RB Kenneth Walker Questionable for Week 7 Clash Against Falcons The Seattle Seahawks have listed star running back Kenneth Walker as questionable due to an illness.

OCTOBER 19 • NEWSOBSERVER.COM

Added to injury report with illness Walker was added to Saturday's injury report with an illness and is listed as questionable for Sunday's contest against the Falcons.

Impact It's reassuring in the sense the Seahawks didn't call up any running back from the practice squad, but obviously fantasy managers need to monitor Walker's status given the sudden addition to the injury report. Should the dynamic 23-year-old miss time, Zach Charbonnet would immediately step in as the primary running back.

Salvages inefficient rushing night Walker rushed 14 times for 32 yards and a touchdown and secured all eight targets for 37 yards in the Seahawks' 36-24 loss to the 49ers on Thursday night.

Impact Walker's highly inefficient work on the ground was partly offset by his one-yard scoring run late in the third quarter and his second straight very busy game as a receiver. The third-year back's reception total was a new career high, besting the seven catches he'd just recorded in a Week 5 loss to the Giants. Walker's rushing struggles are a concern heading into a Week 7 road matchup against the Falcons on Sunday, Oct. 20, as he's now gained just 51 yards on 19 carries over his last pair of contests.

Struggles in defeat Walker rushed five times for 19 yards and caught seven of eight targets for 57 yards in Sunday's 29-20 loss to the Giants.

Impact Walked did not carry an injury designation into Sunday's tilt after being limited during the practice week due to a lingering oblique injury. The veteran starter scored three touchdowns in his return from the aforementioned oblique strain in Week 4, so his poor performance against the Giants wasn't related. Walker still led Seattle in running back carries and also all receivers in targets Sunday. Barring any health concerns, fantasy managers should stick with Walker heading into Thursday's home matchup against San Francisco.

No injury designation Walker (oblique) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Giants, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.

Impact Walker returned from the oblique injury to score three touchdowns in Monday's loss at Detroit after missing the previous three games. He seems to have avoided setbacks this week and should be ready for his usual lead role come Sunday.

Logs limited practice Thursday Walker (oblique) was limited in practice Thursday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Impact Walker opened Week 5 prep with a full listing following Wednesday's walkthrough, but he fell back to a capped session one day later. The limitations likely are maintenance-related after he sat out Weeks 2 and 3 due to an oblique injury and then returned Monday at Detroit, where he had 16 touches for 116 yards from scrimmage and three rushing TDs on a 59 percent snap share. In the end, Friday's practice report will unveil whether or not Walker goes into the weekend with a designation for Sunday's game against the Giants.

Scores thrice in MNF loss Walker rushed 12 times for 80 yards and three touchdowns while adding four receptions for 36 yards in Monday's 42-29 loss to the Lions.

Impact Walker was cleared from his oblique injury prior to Monday's kickoff, affording fantasy managers a comfortable decision to start Seattle's lead back for a monster three-score game. The 23-year-old missed the Seahawk's previous two games with the aforementioned injury, and he was clearly chomping at the bit to get back out there after a standout effort. A healthy Walker heads into a Week 5 matchup against the Giants on Sunday.

Set for Monday Walker does not carry an injury designation into Monday's contest against the Lions, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Impact Walker practiced in limited fashion both Thursday and Friday, so it seemed like the electric tailback was likely primed to play after missing the previous two games. He'll return against a tough Lions defense that's allowed the fourth-fewest rushing yards this season.

SEPTEMBER 28 • ROTOWIRE

Limited again Friday Walker (oblique) was limited at Friday's walkthrough, Corbin K. Smith of SI.com reports.

Impact After donning pads at Thursday's practice, Walker was able to go down as a limited participant for a second day in a row. He appears to be closing in on a return to action since suffering an oblique injury Week 1, which has sidelined him the last two games. Ultimately, Saturday's practice report will reveal whether or not he heads into Monday's contest at Detroit with a designation. Zach Charbonnet would stand to benefit if Walker is inhibited or sidelined again for Week 4 action.

SEPTEMBER 27 • ROTOWIRE

Limited to kick off week Walker (oblique) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.

Impact Going back to last week, Walker has put together back-to-back capped sessions as he draws closer to completing his recovery from the oblique injury that he suffered Week 1 against the Broncos. According to Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times, Walker was in pads and had his helmet during warmups Thursday. The Seahawks have a pair of practices remaining during Week 4 prep in which Walker can demonstrate his health before the Seahawks may give him a designation ahead of Monday's game at Detroit. If he's able to return, there's a chance he could split reps with No. 2 RB Zach Charbonnet, though Walker has averaged 16.9 touches per game in two-plus seasons as a pro.

SEPTEMBER 26 • ROTOWIRE

Inactive in Week 3 Walker (oblique) is listed as inactive Sunday against the Dolphins.

Impact Considering the Seahawks listed Walker as doubtful to suit up Sunday due to the oblique injury that he suffered in the season opener, it comes as no surprise that he found himself among the team's Week 3 inactives. Having said that, he displayed some progress in his recovery by running on the side during warmups Thursday and officially returning to practice Friday as a limited participant. Nevertheless, Walker again will cede Seattle's backfield to Zach Charbonnet, who handled 67 of 70 offensive snaps last Sunday in New England on his way to 19 touches for 69 yards from scrimmage and one rushing TD.

SEPTEMBER 22 • ROTOWIRE

Doubtful despite practice return Walker (oblique) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against Miami but he did manage a limited practice Friday, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.

Impact The return to practice is a good sign for Week 4, if nothing else, and it confirms that fantasy managers planning to start Zach Charbonnet will need to check Seattle's inactive list ahead of a 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff this Sunday. Walker will have an extra day to get ready the following week, as Seattle faces the Lions on Monday, Sept. 30.
