Overview

  • Kenneth Walker III sat out the Seahawks’ second preseason game and has missed multiple practices with a lingering foot injury that coach Mike Macdonald confirmed remains unresolved.
  • Macdonald said he expects Walker to join practice this week in Green Bay, but the running back’s availability for Week 1 is still undetermined.
  • Zach Charbonnet has been the only back to practice fully and delivered a 45-yard touchdown on five carries, pushing for a larger role in the backfield.
  • Backup rushers Damien Martinez, George Holani and Jacardia Wright combined for 192 yards and two touchdowns in the victory over Kansas City, showcasing depth.
  • Seattle’s offseason overhaul, including trading QB Geno Smith and parting with DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett, increases the stakes on a healthy and effective ground attack.
