BREAKING: Seahawks Running Back Anticipated to Be Back for Monday Night Game Against the Lions

The Seattle Seahawks are set to welcome back a crucial piece of their offense. Running back Kenneth Walker III, who has been sidelined for the last two games due to an oblique injury, is expected to return to action. Walker had no designation on the team’s final injury report, signaling he will be ready to play in the Seahawks’ Week 4 Monday night clash against the Detroit Lions.

He looked good,” Seattle coach Mike Macdonald stated to reporters on Saturday. “He’s ready to go.The Seahawks (3-0) are eager to have Walker return to enhance their rushing attack as they face the Lions, who currently rank fourth in the NFL in rushing defense, allowing just 76.7 yards per game.

Walker rushed for 103 yards and a touchdown in the Seahawks’ Week 1 victory over the Denver Broncos, averaging 5.2 yards per carry. His presence in the backfield provided a significant threat and helped ease the burden on quarterback Geno Smith. In Walker’s absence over the past two games, Zach Charbonnet stepped in as the starter, accumulating 91 yards and two touchdowns during the team’s 24-3 win over the Miami Dolphins in Week 3.

Macdonald expressed that having both Walker and Charbonnet available for the matchup against the Lions aligns perfectly with the vision he had at the start of the regular season.

It’s the duo that we’ve had all offseason and how I’ve envisioned our offense operating,” Macdonald shared with reporters on Saturday. “We’re getting back to business as usual, just like we were before the last couple of weeks.”
