  • Not ruled out for Week 14

    Coach Pete Carroll said Monday that Walker (ankle) has strain and could be available for Sunday's game against the Panthers, though the team can't confirm his status yet, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

    Analysis: Carroll called Walker's injury "unusual," but it's a good sign that the rookie running back hasn't been ruled out for Week 14 already. Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports that the Seahawks have already received results from Monday's MRI, so it appears that further information on Walker's status could rely on what he's able to do in practices this week. Meanwhile, Travis Homer is nursing a sprained knee while DeeJay Dallas suffered "somewhat of a high ankle issue," per Boyle, but was…read more

  • Getting ankle checked

    Walker is scheduled to undergo tests Monday to evaluate what Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll has termed as a "jammed" right ankle, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Walker exited in the first half of Sunday's 27-23 win over the Rams with the ankle injury, finishing the day with three carries for 36 yards across 14 snaps. According to Rapoport, Walker's injury is different from a sprain because the joint of his ankle jammed down, but the Seahawks are still trying to determine the severity of the issue. Walker's upcoming tests should shed more light on his availability for the Seahawks' Week 14 game against the Panthers.

  • Not returning Sunday

    Walker (ankle) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's contest at the Rams, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.

    Analysis: Walker was examined in the middle of the second quarter and eventually was deemed to have a right ankle injury, which won't allow him to log any more Week 13 action. Prior to his exit, he had three carries for 36 yards and didn't haul in his only target. With Travis Homer (illness) inactive and Rashaad Penny (ankle/fibula) on injured reserve, the Seahawks backfield has been whittled down to DeeJay Dallas and Tony Jones.

  • Sustains ankle injury Sunday

    Walker departed Sunday's game at the Rams due to an ankle injury.

    Analysis: After a Seahawks possession in the second quarter, Walker was seen getting examined by team personnel and later remained on the sideline with his right leg propped up on the bench. It's unclear if he has a chance to return, but as long as the rookie second-round pick is out, this backfield will be the domain of DeeJay Dallas and perhaps Tony Jones, with Travis Homer (illness) inactive and Rashaad Penny (ankle/fibula) out for the season.

  • Finds end zone twice against Vegas

    Walker carried the ball 14 times for 26 yards and two touchdowns while catching his only target for 13 yards in Sunday's 40-34 overtime loss to the Raiders.

    Analysis: For the second straight game, Walker was largely held in check, and 12 of his runs netted him a total of zero yards. Fortunately, the other two resulted in a 12-yard TD in the first quarter and a 14-yard score in the third. Seattle's rookie RB will look to produce more yards in Week 13 against a Rams defense that just had trouble containing fellow first-year back Isiah Pacheco.

  • Work as pass catcher saves day

    Walker rushed the ball 10 times for 17 yards in Sunday's 21-16 loss to the Buccaneers. He added six receptions on eight targets for 55 yards.

    Analysis: Walker was bottled up as a rusher and the Seahawks were forced to abandon the run due to game script, which resulted in his lowest rushing yardage total since taking over as the starter. However, he became a significant part of Seattle's passing attack in the second half -- both on designed plays and as a check-down option -- to turn in his most prolific day as a receiver. It's also notable that no other running back on the roster recorded either a rushing attempt or a target, so Walker has a…read more

  • Scores twice against Cards

    Walker carried the ball 26 times for 109 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 31-21 win over the Cardinals. He also caught three of four targets for 20 yards.

    Analysis: Both scores came in the fourth quarter, as Walker put the game out of Arizona's reach. Walker has gotten into the end zone in five straight games, scoring seven TDs in total over that stretch while amassing 512 rushing yards. The rookie should be one of the focal points of the Seattle offense again in a Week 10 clash with the Buccaneers in Germany.

  • Gets into end zone in win

    Walker carried the ball 18 times for 51 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-13 win over the Giants. He also caught one of two targets for one yard.

    Analysis: The rookie running back was headed for a disappointing performance until he iced the game with a 16-yard TD run late in the fourth quarter. Walker has gotten into the end zone in four straight games, amassing 403 rushing yards and five TDs during that stretch, and he stands a good chance of extending that streak to five games in Week 9 against a Cardinals defense he gashed for 97 yards and a score in their first meeting.

  • Erupts against Chargers

    Walker carried the ball 23 times for 168 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 37-23 win over the Chargers.

    Analysis: While he didn't see any action as a receiver, Walker didn't need to supplement his production on the ground. If there was a downside to his performance it's that he was tackled in the end zone for a safety early in the fourth quarter as Los Angeles looked to spark a comeback, but the rookie running back atoned with a 74-yard TD run about seven minutes later, putting the game out of reach. It was Walker's first career 100-yard game and first multi-TD effort, but it likely won't be his last in…read more

  • Dominates work, looks good

    Walker carried the ball 21 times for 97 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 19-9 win over Arizona. He added two receptions for 13 yards.

    Analysis: Walker dominated carries out of Seattle's backfield as expected in the first week without Rashaad Penny (ankle), accounting for 21 of the team's 30 rushing attempts. He displayed some big-play ability by ripping off gains of 34, 21 and 17 yards, and he also recorded an 11-yard rushing score. While Walker isn't known for his receiving ability, it was encouraging to see him involved in the passing game -- even at a minimal level. Walker should carry a heavy workload once again in Week 7 against…read more

  • Set for starting gig

    Walker is primed to step into Seattle's primary running back role with Rashaad Penny (lower leg) done for the season, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Walker will get a chance to lead the Seahawks backfield with Penny set for season-ending surgery to address a broken fibula. The rookie second-round pick had eight carries for 88 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 39-32 loss to the Saints, highlighted by a 69-yard breakaway score, but he's still yet to log double-digit attempts in a single game. There's a good chance that changes Week 6 versus the Cardinals, as DeeJay Dallas currently is the only healthy running back on Seattle's roster,…read more

  • Expanded role likely

    Walker carried eight times for 88 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 39-32 loss to the Saints.

    Analysis: Walker made his mark Sunday with a 69-yard scoring jaunt in the fourth quarter, and with fellow back Rashaad Penny having suffered what head coach Pete Carroll described as a "serious" ankle injury, accordingGregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune, the rookie second-round pick looks set to see an expanded role in Seattle's offense, beginning with the Seahawks' Week 6 game against the Cardinals. Look for more context regarding Penny's injury to surface no later than Monday, but Walker could be on…read more

  • Set to play Week 5

    Walker (shoulder) is active Week 5 against the Saints.

    Analysis: Walker was limited in practice by a shoulder injury on consecutive days this week, but it won't stop him from suiting up Sunday. Last week, Walker barely saw a third of the snaps, playing second fiddle to Rashaad Penny -- a role that translated to just eight carries for 29 yards. It's unclear if the rookie will carve out a greater piece of the pie against a tough Saints run defense, especially given the recent injury.

  • Status up in air for Sunday

    Walker (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game in New Orleans, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.

    Analysis: Walker made a sudden appearance on the Seahawks' injury report Thursday as limited due to a shoulder issue, which now is making his status for Week 5 murky. Fortunately for fantasy managers, his availability, or lack thereof, will become known about 90 minutes before Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff. Even if he's able to suit up this weekend, though, the rookie second-round pick will be working behind top running back Rashaad Penny, which so far has amounted to 4.3 touches for 18 yards from…read more

  • Dealing with shoulder issue

    Walker was limited at Thursday's practice by a shoulder injury, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Walker avoided the injury report entirely to kick off Week 5 prep, so his midweek addition is somewhat concerning. He'll aim to bump back up to all activity at Friday's session, after which the Seahawks may provide some clarity regarding his availability for Sunday's contest at New Orleans. Even if he ends up being available this weekend, though, Walker will play second fiddle in Seattle's backfield to Rashaad Penny (shoulder), who followed up a DNP on Wednesday with a full practice Thursday.

  • Totals 24 yards

    Walker rushed eight times for 29 yards and caught his lone target for a five-yard loss in Sunday's 48-45 win over the Lions.

    Analysis: Walker was on the field for 25 offensive snaps (36 percent), but he wasn't effective on the ground or in the passing game. Meanwhile, veteran running back Rashaad Penny stole the show, as he rushed 17 times for 151 yards and two touchdowns. Penny is playing like he did toward the end of last season, so Walker likely won't have a consistent offensive role for the time being.

  • Puts up 33 total yards

    Walker rushed three times for 19 yards and caught all three of his targets for 14 yards in Sunday's 27-23 loss to the Falcons.

    Analysis: Walker played just nine offensive snaps, but it's encouraging that he got the ball on six of those plays. The rookie second-round pick had a 21-yard tout in the third quarter but didn't gain any ground on his other two carries. He was also effective as a checkdown option for quarterback Geno Smith. However, Rashaad Penny -- who played 69 percent of the snaps -- is still the clear No. 1 back, so fantasy managers need to exercise patience with Walker.

  • Quiet debut in Sunday's loss

    Walker gained 10 yards on four carries and caught two of three targets for five yards in Sunday's 27-7 loss to the 49ers.

    Analysis: Making his debut for Seattle after missing Week 1 while completing his recovery from a hernia procedure in August, the second-round pick in the 2022 NFL Draft struggled along with the rest of the team's offense, and the Seahawks' only points on the day came on a blocked field goal that got returned to the end zone by Mike Jackson. More encouragingly, Walker tied Rashaad Penny in touches with six, and the rookie could find himself in a backfield timeshare now that he's healthy -- albeit a…read more

  • Clear for NFL debut

    Walker (hernia) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game in San Francisco, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

    Analysis: While he won't necessarily have a key role from the jump, Walker has been cleared to play. He should poach some carries from Rashaad Penny sooner or later, and the veteran's injury history means Walker has a good chance to serve as the lead runner at some point during his rookie season. The 2022 second-round pick starts off with a challenge, facing San Francisco's menacing front seven on the road.

  • Falls back to limited practice

    Walker (hernia) was limited at Thursday's practice, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

    Analysis: During Week 1 prep, Walker was held out of practice entirely as he continued his recovery from a mid-August hernia procedure. This week, he kicked it off with a full session Wednesday, only to downgrade slightly one day later. The development may have been maintenance-related to ensure Walker gets to the weekend ready for his pro debut. Still, his activity level and eventual designation, or lack thereof, on Friday's injury report will provide insight into whether or not active status is…read more

    Analysis: Walker didn't practice at all last week before being one of the Seahawks' inactives for Monday's win over the Broncos, the result of his continued recovery from a hernia procedure performed in mid-August. Head coach Pete Carroll said Tuesday that the team expected Walker to be available Week 2 before telling Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic that the rookie running back was slated to practice Wednesday.

Either way, Rashaad Penny likely will be the lead back again, though Walker could take a chunk out of the rushing workload if he's truly ready this Sunday.

    Analysis: The second-round rookie out of Michigan State was inactive for Monday's 17-16 win over the Broncos after requiring a hernia procedure in mid-August, but Walker seems to have taken a step forward in his recovery in recent days. Since he didn't log any practice activity heading into Week 1, he'll presumably need to get in at least one full session by Friday to make good on Carroll's prediction that the running back will suit up Sunday. Given the time that he missed during the preseason, Walker…read more

  • NFL debut delayed

    Walker (hernia) is listed as inactive Monday against the Broncos.

    Analysis: A 2022 second-round pick, Walker unsurprisingly won't suit up in the Seahawks' season opener due to the hernia procedure he underwent in mid-August that didn't allow him to practice during Week 1 prep. With Walker on the sideline, the team will ride Rashaad Penny as the top backfield option, while Travis Homer and DeeJay Dallas are on hand for any remaining RB reps.

  • Questionable for Week 1

    Walker (hernia) is listed as questionable for Monday night's season opener against the Broncos, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

    Analysis: The 2022 second-rounder was listed as a non-participant in practice this week, but at this stage he's not ruled out for Monday night's 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff. Given the timing of Seattle's opening contest, Walker currently profiles as a risky Week 1 fantasy lineup option. If he's out or limited Monday, the team would turn to Travis Homer and/or DeeJay Dallas for complementary RB snaps behind starter Rashaad Penny.

    With Walker (hernia) having been listed as a non-participant on Friday's practice estimate, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune suggests that all signs point to the running back missing Monday night's season opener against the Broncos.

    Analysis: Saturday's injury report should add clarity to the 2022 second-rounder's Week 1 status, but if Walker is unavailable Monday, Travis Homer and/or DeeJay Dallas would be in line to handle complementary work behind starter Rashaad Penny.

    Walker (abdomen) is listed as a non-participant on Friday's practice estimate, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.

    Analysis: The Seahawks didn't practice Friday but still have to put out an injury report. While he hasn't been ruled out, Walker seems unlikely to play in Monday's game after undergoing a hernia procedure in mid-August. Coach Pete Carroll said he thought Walker would get some practice reps Thursday, but the rookie didn't end up participating. The Seahawks will turn to Travis Homer and/or DeeJay Dallas for support behind starter Rashaad Penny if Walker isn't able to play Week 1.

However, that didn't come to pass. During the portion of the session open to the media Thursday, the rookie second-round pick wasn't wearing a helmet, per Brady Henderson of ESPN.com, and he eventually went down as a DNP.

    Analysis: Walker missed the Seahawks' final two preseason games due to a hernia procedure that he underwent in mid-August. As of Monday, Carroll was uncertain whether Walker would be ready for a season-opening matchup with the Broncos, but the rookie second-round pick looked good while running Wednesday and took part in the team's walkthrough Thursday.

  • Status for Week 1 remains uncertain

    Coach Pete Carroll said Monday that he isn't sure whether Walker (abdomen) will play during Seattle's Week 1 matchup against the Broncos on Monday, Sept. 12, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

    Analysis: Carroll said that Walker "worked some" by doing running and catching during Monday's practice, but the rookie's availability to begin the regular season remains up in the air due to his ongoing recovery from a hernia procedure. If Walker ultimately is unavailable for the Seahawks' season opener, Rashaad Penny would serve as the team's clear lead back, while Travis Homer and DeeJay Dallas likely would compete for touches in reserve roles.

    Coach Pete Carroll said Tuesday that Walker's status for Week 1 against the Broncos is in question due to his ongoing recovery from a hernia procedure, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Meanwhile, Rashaad Penny returned to the team Tuesday after a brief bout with COVID-19, per Curtis Crabtree of Sports Radio 950 KJR Seattle. Carroll's comments effectively were a non-update on Walker, who has been sidelined since mid-August due to the aforementioned surgery. With no set timeline announced, the rookie second-rounder appears to be in limbo until he gains medical clearance.

  • No clear timeline for return

    Coach Pete Carroll said Sunday that the team has yet to develop a return timetable for Walker (abdomen), who is recovering from a procedure to repair a hernia, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

    Analysis: "It's just a matter of time," Carroll said of Walker's recovery. "We don't have a designated return sequence yet, we've got to see how he responds." The rookie second-round pick is targeting a return to activity prior to Seattle's Sept. 12 season opener against the Broncos, but it's not yet clear whether that's a realistic goal for Walker.

  • Targets Week 1 return

    Walker's upcoming procedure involves repairing a hernia, and the running back is targeting a return to full activity in time for Week 1, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Per Rapoport, Walker wasn't dealing with what is sometimes called a "sports hernia" or core-muscle injury, but either way, the rookie looks like he has a chance to avoid missing any regular-season games. Once he's back to full strength, Walker will resume his quest to carve out a key early-season role in Seattle's backfield behind presumptive No. 1 option Rashaad Penny.

    Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said Wednesday that Walker is having "a procedure" that's not related to a sports hernia, Curtis Crabtree of Sports Radio 950 KJR Seattle reports.

    Analysis: Per Crabtree, Carroll previously suggested that Walker was a dealing with a minor hernia issue, but evidently there's another injury in play for the rookie. Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports that Carroll noted Walker doesn't have a core-muscle injury, but the exact nature of the running back's upcoming procedure is still a mystery. No matter the case, Walker is slated to miss some time in the preseason, but the Seahawks remain hopeful that he'll be ready to go for Week 1.

    Coach Pete Carroll said Walker didn't practice Tuesday due to "a little hernia issue," Curtis Crabtree of Sports Radio 950 KJR Seattle reports.

    Analysis: On the same day that Rashaad Penny (groin) got back on the practice field, Walker wasn't present for drills. Carroll didn't provide much more information about the reason for Walker's absence, but it may impact his availability for Thursday's preseason game versus the Bears. If Walker is unable to suit up, Penny, Travis Homer, DeeJay Dallas, Darwin Thompson and Josh Johnson would compose the Seahawks backfield.

  • Logs six touches Saturday

    Walker rushed five times for 19 yards while securing his lone target for 11 yards during the Seahawks' 32-25 preseason loss to the Steelers on Saturday.

    Analysis: Walker served as a starter during Saturday's preseason opener since Rashaad Penny (groin) was kept off the field. Although Walker didn't reach the end zone, he was involved in the Seahawks' offense over the first few drives of the game. The 2022 second-round pick has drawn plenty of praise from coach Pete Carroll over the first few weeks of training camp, particularly for his abilities in the passing game. While Penny is a strong candidate to start if he's healthy once the regular season…read more

  • Expected to start Saturday

    Walker is expected to start Saturday's preseason game against the Steelers, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.

    Analysis: Rashaad Penny is dealing with a slight groin injury and will likely sit out Saturday's game, though he wasn't expected to play much even if he was healthy. Head coach Pete Carroll spent time Thursday raving about the rookie's abilities in the passing game, specifically as a pass blocker, which was a major question mark coming out of college. Walker will get a chance to prove himself in his first NFL action Saturday, and if he shows the necessary improvements in the passing game, he could have a…read more

  • Signs rookie deal

    Walker has signed his rookie contract, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

    Analysis: The same applies to fellow 2022 second-round pick Boye Mafe and fourth-rounder Coby Bryant, meaning that Seattle's entire nine-player draft class is now under contract. With Chris Carson planning to retire from the NFL because of a neck injury, Rashaad Penny and Walker top the Seahawks' running back depth chart, with Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic noting that the duo are in line to work as the team's primary early-down options. DeeJay Dallas and Travis Homer are expected to share…read more

  • Likely vying for No. 2 duties

    Walker (hamstring) is expected to compete for the Seahawks' No. 2 running back role in 2022, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.

    Analysis: Walker missed part of mandatory minicamp with a hamstring injury but should be ready when training camp starts in late July. However, he may be boxed out from the starting role because of Rashaad Penny's dominance down the stretch last season. Walker won the Doak Walker Award -- given to college football's best running back -- last season after he ran for 1,636 yards and 18 touchdowns over 12 games with Michigan State, and the Seahawks selected him in the second round (41st overall) of April's…read more

  • Dealing with hamstring injury

    Head coach Pete Carroll said Thursday that Walker missed part of mandatory minicamp with a hamstring injury, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.

    Analysis: Fellow running back Rashaad Penny missed time in OTAs with a hamstring injury, though the team was simply taking a cautious approach and he was back on the field quickly. The Seahawks finished their mandatory minicamp Thursday but will reconvene Tuesday for their last three days of the offseason program. If Walker is still missing from the field, it could signal a more serious injury. Regardless, Walker should have plenty of time to recover before training camp starts in late July. The rookie…read more
