Overview
- Kenneth Walker III was added Friday to the final injury report with a new glute issue and is questionable, with Mike Macdonald describing the move as precautionary and saying he expects Walker to play.
- Rookie left guard Grey Zabel avoided structural knee damage on MRI and returned to practice in a limited capacity Thursday after sitting out Wednesday.
- Macdonald named Christian Haynes the starter at left guard if Zabel cannot go, following Haynes’ 10-snap relief stint against the Rams with one pressure allowed and no sacks.
- Wide receiver Tory Horton (shin) and linebacker Tyrice Knight (concussion) were ruled out, while Ernest Jones (knee), Robbie Ouzts (elbow/personal) and Zabel (knee) are listed as questionable.
- If Walker is limited, Zach Charbonnet is positioned to take a larger share of carries, with rookie George Holani available for depth against the Titans on Sunday in Nashville.
