Kenneth Walker III Injury News
Walker (ankle, illness) missed the first two days of practice ahead of Week 18, which sparked concern about his status. However, the rookie managed to return in a full capacity on Friday.
Is Kenneth Walker III Injured or Playing in Week 18?
Returning to practice was good news for the Seahawks and Walker, who has been removed from the injury report altogether. Barring a major setback on Sunday morning, Walker will be active for Seattle's regular-season finale against the Rams.
The Seahawks have yet to be eliminated from playoff contention, so they'll likely play all their starters (including Walker) on Sunday afternoon.
Walker, 22, has occupied an enormous role as of late, registering a whopping 49 carries and 240 rushing yards over the course of his last two games. This weekend's matchup against the Rams makes him an intriguing RB2 option in fantasy football.
