The Seattle Seahawks, who are in a fierce fight to win the NFC West and make it to the playoffs, are in dire need of a win against the Chicago Bears at Soldier Field on Thursday night.
Meanwhile, the Bears haven't won since they defeated the Jacksonville Jaguars in London on Oct. 13. They will want to finish a poor 2024 season on a high note, but at 4-11, they can no longer qualify for the playoffs.
Ahead of Thursday night's game, we'll examine how both teams are doing in terms of injuries below.

Seattle Seahawks injury report for TNF
Ahead of their game against the Chicago Bears on Thursday night, the Seattle Seahawks released their final injury report on Wednesday. The report featured several players.
Three players were ruled out of the primetime game by the Seahawks: Safety K'Von Wallace (ankle), tight end Brady Russell (foot), and running back Kenneth Walker III (ankle). However, the team did not list any player with a questionable designation on Wednesday.
Kenneth Walker III's injury update
Third-year running back Kenneth Walker III was ruled out Wednesday for the Seattle Seahawks Week 17 matchup against the Chicago Bears because of an ankle injury. He suffered the injury during last Sunday's game against the Minnesota Vikings and was unable to practice during the week because of it.
Walker had missed two games due to a calf ailment prior to his most recent ankle injury. His absence is a tough blow for the Seahawks, but Zach Charbonnet is a reliable deputy.
Zach Charbonnet's injury update
Zach Charbonnet has dominated with 317 rushing yards and six touchdowns in the four games Kenneth Walker has missed this season. However, he only carried the ball once and had two catches in last week's game. Following that game, head coach Mike Macdonald excused the 23-year-old running back's dismal showing, saying it was due to his health, as he had missed practice due to an oblique injury.
This week, Charbonnet was limited for the first practice of the week with an elbow injury. However, he was able to log full practices on Tuesday and Wednesday, enough for him to be removed from Seattle's final injury report.
Chicago Bears injury report
After being designated DNP at practice throughout the week, the Chicago Bears have ruled out four players for Week 17: safety Tarvarius Moore (knee), running back Travis Homer (hamstring), offensive lineman Teven Jenkins (calf), and safety Elijah Hicks (ankle/foot).
Additionally, three players are designated as questionable: linebacker Amen Ogbongbemiga (hip), offensive lineman Doug Kramer (shoulder), and defensive tackle Gervon Dexter (knee).
Elijah Hicks' injury update
Chicago Bears defender Elijah Hicks sustained injuries to his foot and ankle in last week's game against the Detroit Lions.
He was unable to practice over the week due to the injury, and Jonathan Owens is anticipated to start in his place against the Seattle Seahawks after being ruled out on Wednesday.
