The Seattle Seahawks are facing critical injury concerns for their running backs as they prepare for a Thursday night game against the Chicago Bears. Coach Mike Macdonald provided limited updates on Ken Walker III, who is undergoing tests for an ankle injury sustained in the recent loss to the Minnesota Vikings.
Walker has struggled with injuries this season, missing four games, and his effectiveness has declined. Zach Charbonnet has performed well in his absence, but he too is battling injuries. The Seahawks may need to elevate rookie George Holani from the practice squad if Walker's condition worsens.
With the importance of the upcoming game, the Seahawks need to improve their rushing performance after a disappointing outing against Minnesota. Macdonald emphasized the need for better offensive balance to secure a crucial win.
