Kenneth Walker III expected back soon for the Seahawks

Kenneth Walker III, the lead running back for the Seattle Seahawks, is currently listed as 'day to day' due to a calf injury that caused him to miss the recent victory against the Arizona Cardinals. Coach Mike Macdonald reassured fans that Walker's injury is not expected to be long-term and mentioned that he would like to see Walker practice this week. This development comes as the Seahawks prepare for a critical matchup against the Green Bay Packers, a game that could significantly impact their playoff positioning. In Walker's absence, rookie Zach Charbonnet has excelled, achieving career-high statistics with 134 rushing yards and two touchdowns, earning him the potential to start again if Walker is unable to play. Charbonnet's impressive performance has been a bright spot for the team, showcasing the depth of talent on the roster.

The Seahawks currently lead the NFC West by one game over the Los Angeles Rams, making every match crucial as the regular season winds down. The coaching staff has credited the offensive coordinator for crafting a strategy that effectively leveraged Charbonnet's skills, particularly in running plays designed for inside the tackles. With four games remaining, the Seahawks are hopeful for a swift return of Walker to bolster their playoff push.
