The Seattle Seahawks have received significant news regarding their rookie running back Kenneth Walker III ahead of their upcoming matchup against the Green Bay Packers. On Wednesday, it was confirmed that Walker did not participate (DNP) in practice due to an ankle injury he sustained during the game against the San Francisco 49ers. Head Coach Pete Carroll provided an update, stating, ‘Kenneth is getting better, but he’s still sore. We’ll see how he progresses throughout the week.’ Walker has become a crucial part of the Seahawks’ offense this season, amassing a total of 1,040 rushing yards and 8 touchdowns after starting 12 games. The team is scheduled to release their official injury report later in the week, which will provide more clarity on Walker’s status for the game. As the Seahawks prepare for a must-win situation against the 10-3 Packers, the absence of Walker could significantly affect their performance. Carroll has previously noted Walker’s importance to the team: ‘He brings so much energy and talent to the field. Losing him could definitely change our game plan.’ The injury report will also address other players such as cornerback Mike Jackson, who also missed practice on Wednesday, while players like quarterback Geno Smith and wide receiver Tyler Lockett were both present and participated fully. The Seahawks currently hold a record of 7-6, making this Friday’s matchup crucial for their playoff aspirations.
