Overview
- Walker left Seattle in spring free agency for a three-year deal with the Kansas City Chiefs and will play at Lumen Field on Sunday, Oct. 25.
- He leads the NFL with 665 rushing yards and six touchdowns in five games for the 5-0 Chiefs, turning into a true workhorse in Andy Reid’s offense.
- Kansas City’s run game has surged since signing Walker, improving play-action efficiency and easing pressure on Patrick Mahomes.
- Reporting by The Athletic says Seattle did not make a serious contract offer to Walker in free agency, a claim that has intensified scrutiny of the Seahawks’ offseason decisions but has not been independently confirmed by the team.
- Seattle’s backfield picture could change for the matchup because Zach Charbonnet fully practiced this week and might be activated, giving coach Mike Macdonald a return option against his former teammate.
