Seahawks Week 16 injury report: Ken Walker returns to practice

Seahawks Week 16 injury report: Ken Walker returns to practice

The Seattle Seahawks have received another bit of good injury news this week. On Wednesday, it was revealed quarterback Geno Smith was a full participant at practice. Smith injured his knee during the Week 15 loss to the Green Bay Packers, but it appears he is on track to start in Week 16 against the Minnesota Vikings.

Potentially joining him in the backfield is running back Kenneth Walker III, who has missed the last two games with a calf injury. Walker was a non-participant on Wednesday’s practice, but returned for Thursday! While there is still a few days to go before we know for sure if Walker will make his return to play the Vikings, this is certainly an encouraging sign!

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

  • TE Brady Russell – Foot
  • DE Leonard Williams – Foot/NIR-rest
  • LB Trevis Gipson – Ankle
  • T Abe Lucas – Knee/NIR-rest

Several Seahawks defenders at risk of missing TNF vs. 49ers

Several Seahawks defenders at risk of missing TNF vs. 49ers

The Seattle Seahawks must swiftly place Sunday’s disappointing home defeat to the New York Giants behind them. There’s no rest for the wicked as the Seahawks prepare to face the San Francisco 49ers on Thursday Night Football. It’s Seattle’s first NFC West showdown of the campaign, and Mike Macdonald’s squad will put its division lead at risk.

The Seahawks held a walkthrough on Monday as opposed to a traditional practice. Several key defenders were limited or missing altogether. Pass rushers Derick Hall (foot) and Uchenna Nwosu (thigh) did not participate, nor did rookie defensive tackle Byron Murphy II (hamstring), and cornerback Riq Woolen (ankle). Boye Mafe (knee), and safeties Julian Love (hamstring) and Rayshawn Jenkins (hand) were limited.

Coach Macdonald has already ruled out Nwosu. Nwosu will miss his sixth consecutive game despite not being placed on IR to begin the season. His injury is obviously taken significantly longer to heal than originally anticipated.

Murphy II is also expected to remain sidelined on Thursday due to the quick turnaround. Murphy was injured in the Week 3 victory over the Miami Dolphins. The former Texas Longhorns standout has recorded half a sack and seven pressures this season as a first-year contributor.

Hall and Woolen should see their statuses updated during Tuesday’s practice. Hall leads the Seahawks in sacks with five quarterback takedowns, so his participation on Thursday is imperative. Woolen is Seattle’s No. 1 cornerback and his absence would leave the secondary susceptible to the threats posed by Brandon Aiyuk and Deebo Samuel.

Limited participation for Mafe, Love, and Jenkins indicates they’re on track to play Thursday, but their practice involvement will be worth monitoring on Tuesday and Wednesday.
