Kenneth Walker III suffered an oblique injury in the team's season opener against the Broncos. He did not get a carry after the 10:50 mark of the fourth quarter.

Walker III missed all of last week's practices and the last two games. However, he practiced on a limited basis on Thursday.

The Seahawks released their injury report on Thursday, which listed six players, including Walker, as limited. Tight end Noah Fant, left guard Laken Tomlinson, tight end Pharaoh Brown, linebacker Derick Hall and nose tackle Johnathan Hankins.

Seahawks coach Mike Macdonald said on Wednesday that he didn't want to speculate on Walker's status.

Lions coach Dan Campbell said he expected Walker to play on Monday.

After rushing for over 2,700 yards and scoring 35 touchdowns on the ground in college, Walker was selected in the second round of the 2022 NFL Draft by the Seahawks and has developed into their primary option.
