The Seattle Seahawks will be kicking off tonight against the Chicago Bears under the lights of prime time. Unfortunately, as expected, starting running back Kenneth Walker III will not be suiting up. Walker injured his ankle in the Week 16 loss to the Minnesota Vikings and did not return to the game. He then went on to be listed as a non-participant during all of Seattle’s walk-through practices this week.
Sadly, this continues an unfortunate, injury-riddled 2024 for Walker. Thursday will mark his fifth missed game of the season. Joining Walker on the sideline will be tight end Brady Russell and safety K’Von Wallace. All three players have been ruled OUT for Thursday Night Football.
As they have done all week long, the Seahawks did not hold a traditional practice. Instead, they held a walk-through. This injury report is an estimation on if they had ran a practice and what it would look like. The full injury report from Christmas Day’s practice can be seen below.
Did Not Participate:
- TE Brady Russell – Foot
- RB Kenneth Walker III – Ankle
