Kenneth Walker (groin) week-to-week for Seahawks
Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker is week-to-week with a groin injury, per head coach Pete Carroll.
Carroll said the Seahawks are being cautious with Walker due to the nature of the injury. "Yeah, because it's a groin, we've got to make sure," Carroll explained. "He doesn't feel bad. It's not a terrible injury or anything like that. We just don't want to aggravate it now and make it something that lingers through camp." Walker might be held out for the preseason, but it sounds like he should be ready for Week 1 versus the Los Angeles Rams. As a rookie last year, Walker missed the opener with a hernia issue and Week 14 due to an ankle injury. Zach Charbonnet (shoulder) is also sidelined, so veteran DeeJay Dallas and seventh-round rookie Kenny McIntosh will likely handle most of the Seahawks' running back reps in the meantime.
Assuming that the Seahawks will have a healthy backfield for Week 1, Walker is currently the RB15 and Charbonnet is the RB49 in numberFire's preseason rankings. Our models project Walker for 264.1 carries, 1,199.3 rushing yards, 29.2 receptions (37.8 targets), 200.1 receiving yards, and 10.17 touchdowns. Charbonnet is projected for 105.7 carries, 476.2 rushing yards, 15.5 receptions (20.4 targets), 101.4 receiving yards, and 2.71 combined scores.
