Moves to injured reserve
Published: 2024-12-26
The Seahawks placed Walker (ankle) on injured reserve Thursday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.
Walker already was ruled out for Thursday's game at Chicago due to an ankle injury that he sustained in the second half of this past Sunday's loss to the Vikings, but he'll now be out Week 18 and for any playoff matchups that Seattle would have before the NFC Championship Game, assuming the team qualifies and makes it that far. In the meantime, Zach Charbonnet will pace the Seahawks backfield while Kenny McIntosh backs him up.

Walker (ankle) has been ruled out for Thursday's game at Chicago, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.
Walker returned from a two-game absence due to a calf injury this past Sunday against the Vikings, but he suffered an ankle issue in the second half and finished Week 16 with 16 touches for 59 yards from scrimmage. Now that the Seahawks have made a decision on his availability for Week 17 action, Walker again will hand off the Seahawks backfield to Zach Charbonnet, who reeled off 259 total yards and three rushing TDs on 38 touches when Walker was out Weeks 14 and 15.
Remains as DNP on Tuesday

Walker (ankle) was estimated to be a non-participant at the Seahawks' walkthrough Tuesday, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.
Walker remained unavailable for the team's second walkthrough of the week after suffering an ankle sprain in Seattle's 27-24 loss to the Vikings on Sunday. The running back appears to be trending towards missing his fifth game of the season and backfield mate Zach Charbonnet (elbow) was estimated to be a full participant Tuesday after a limited session Monday. If Walker is forced to sit, Charbonnet will once again take over the bell-cow role in Seattle's backfield in Thursday night's matchup with the Bears. More information on Walker's status will be provided following the Seahawks' final practice of the week on Wednesday.

The Seahawks estimated Walker (ankle) as a non-practice participant Monday, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.
Seattle didn't actually practice Monday, but it's no surprise that the team indicated that Walker wouldn't have participated if a practice had taken place given that he needed an MRI for an ankle injury he suffered Sunday versus Minnesota. Per

Walker will need imaging to determine the severity of the ankle injury he suffered in Sunday's 27-24 loss to the Vikings, coach Mike McDonald said after the game, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Walker exited in what had been his return from a two-game absence due to a calf injury. Even if the imaging reveals good news, Walker will be hard-pressed to recover on a short week for Thursday's game against the Bears. Zach Charbonnet would be in line for a heavy workload if Walker's unable to face Chicago.
Injures ankle Sunday

Walker exited Sunday's game against the Vikings after sustaining an ankle injury.
Prior to his departure, Walker carried eight times for 31 yards and caught all eight of his targets for 28 yards. In his absence, Zach Charbonnet and Kenny McIntosh are available to handle Seattle's backfield duties.
Cleared for return

Walker (calf) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against Minnesota, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.
Walker returned to full practice participation Thursday and now figures to return to his role as Seattle's lead runner, although it's possible he gets less work than usual, given that it's his first game back from a two-week absence in which Zach Charbonnet filled in more than capably. That said, Walker has been the clear lead runner whenever healthy this season, sometimes getting more snaps than Charbonnet on passing downs as well.
Full participant in return to practice
Published: 2024-12-19
Walker (calf) practiced fully Thursday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
In his first official on-field work since Wednesday, Dec. 4, Walker was uninhibited, while fellow RB Zach Charbonnet (oblique) followed up Wednesday's absence with a limited session one day later. Walker thus seems poised to retake the reins of the Seahawks backfield Sunday against the Vikings. In his 10 appearances this season, he's averaged 18.3 touches for 81.3 yards from scrimmage per game while scoring eight total TDs.
Still not practicing

Walker (calf) was a non-participant at Wednesday's practice, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.
Walker is seeking his first practice reps since Wednesday, Dec. 4 as he continues with his recovery from a calf injury that has sidelined him the last two games. Fellow RB Zach Charbonnet also didn't practice Wednesday due to an oblique issue, so Kenny McIntosh currently is the healthiest member of the backfield on the Seahawks' active roster. Practices on Thursday and Friday likely will be telling for who among the trio may be the team's primary runner Sunday versus the Vikings.
