The Seattle Seahawks faced a disappointing 27-24 loss to the Minnesota Vikings, but the bigger concern may be the potential injury to running back Ken Walker III. After limping off the field during the fourth quarter, Walker was listed as doubtful for the remainder of the game, having recorded eight carries for 31 yards and eight receptions for 28 yards.
Coach Mike Macdonald confirmed Walker is dealing with an ankle issue and will undergo further tests to assess the injury's severity. This season has already been challenging for Walker, who has missed four games due to previous injuries. With a quick turnaround to their next game against the Chicago Bears, his availability remains uncertain.
If Walker cannot play, the Seahawks may rely on Zach Charbonnet, who also has health concerns, or consider roster adjustments to bring in undrafted rookie George Holani. Fortunately, the team did not report any additional significant injuries, including to quarterback Geno Smith, who managed to finish the game without issues.
