INJURY: Oblique
WEEK 13 STATUS: Doubtful (Unofficial)
ANALYSIS: As Seattle's Week 13 clash with the Dallas Cowboys on Thursday night draws near, running back Kenneth Walker III looks less likely to suit up with each passing day. After being sidelined for the squad's Week 12 Thankgiving Day loss to the 49ers with an oblique injury, Walker has missed both of Seattle's practice sessions this week.
As if logging two straight DNPs wasn't ominous enough, Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll told the media today that "he hasn't seen anything this week that shows Walker is better" and that Walker will "have questions" about playing Thursday against the Cowboys, as reported by Gregg Bell.
Pete Carroll says he hasn’t seen anything this week that shows #Seahawks RB Kenneth Walker is better from his oblique injury. Says Walker will “have questions” about playing at Cowboys Thursday.
No indications he will.

While there's theoretically still time for some sort of miraculous turnaround with Walker's injury, his fantasy managers should prepare for the explosive back to be sidelined for the second straight week due to the oblique issue.
Rookie Zach Charbonnet handled lead back duties for the Seahawks in Walker's Week 12 absence, garnering 18 total opportunities for 58 yards against the Niners. Charbonnet would again be Seattle's lead back in a tough matchup against the Cowboys if Walker is indeed unable to suit up.
