Seahawks injury report: Ken Walker DOUTBFUL, 5 others ruled OUT for Week 15

The Seattle Seahawks have announced their game designations for Week 15’s NFC showdown with the Green Bay Packers on Sunday Night Football. Unfortunately, it looks as if the Seahawks could be without their starting running back once more.

Kenneth Walker III has been listed as DOUBTFUL for prime time. If he does in fact miss this game, back up Zach Charbonnet will once more be in line to get the start like he did last week against the Arizona Cardinals. In replacement of Walker, Charbonnet rumbled his way to 134 rushing yards and two touchdowns. Additionally, rookie running back George Holani will likely be apart of the active 53-man roster like he was last week.

Seattle has also ruled out five total players, one of which is safety K’Von Wallace who returned to practice this week from being recently activated off the injured reserve list.

The full injury report can be seen below.

Ruled OUT:

CB Tre Brown – Hamstring
S Jerrick Reed II – Quad
TE Brady Russell – Foot
T Stone Forsythe – Hand
S K’Von Wallace – Ankle

Doubtful:

RB Kenneth Walker III – Calf
CB Artie Burns – Toe

Questionable:

No players carry this designation as of Friday

Seahawks Week 15 injury report: Ken Walker missed 2nd practice

The Seattle Seahawks are gearing up for an important NFC showdown on Sunday Night Football against the Green Bay Packers. It will be the first time since 2018 that Seattle has hosted Green Bay at Lumen field. Unfortunately, the Seahawks could be without running back Kenneth Walker III once again.

For a second-straight day, Walker was a non-participant at practice. Should Walker miss yet another game, Seattle will be in good hands… er, legs… with backup Zach Charbonnet. Against the Arizona Cardinals, Charbonnet had a breakout game with 134 yards on 22 carries and two first half touchdowns. Charbonnet has eight career scores, and seven of them have come in the 2024 campaign.

The full injury report for Thursday’s practice is below.

RB Kenneth Walker III – Calf
CB Tre Brown – Hamstring
S Jerrick reed II – Quad

Can RB George Holani make an impact for the Seahawks?

The Seattle Seahawks were dealt a brutal blow on Saturday when it was announced running back Kenneth Walker III was ruled OUT. Seattle will have to compete in the Week 14 rematch without their best ball carrier. With Walker no longer active, filling his place is rookie running back George Holani, who was elevated off the practice squad.

Holani turned plenty of heads this preseason, when he rumbled his way to 66 total yards on 17 carries in his three games. He even managed to find the end zone twice, including the first touchdown of the exhibition season for the Seahawks. The question now shifts to Week 14 – can Holani make an impact for a Seattle offense struggling to run the ball?

The Seahawks have not had more than 285 total yards of offense in four of their last five games, and are really struggling getting anything going on the ground. The main culprit of this problem is of course Seattle’s atrocious offensive line. Surely backup Zach Charbonnet will get the lion’s share of carries in Walker’s absence, and I would not be surprised if third-stringer Kenny McIntosh gets some looks as well.

However, I don’t think Holani should be ignored from the game plan. He has only suited up in one game this year, a Week 2 road trip to play the New England Patriots. The Seahawks, at times this year under Ryan Grubb, have abandoned the run far too early. Yes, they struggle to get things going on the ground, but there are other times where they move off the run when they do not have to do so. Perhaps Holani can provide a bit of a spark to a Seahawks team that are underdogs for an eighth-straight week.
