Kenneth Walker sidelined HC: RB nursing a "little hernia thing" By: Doug Orth | Aug 16 2022, 11:20 pm
Seahawks RB Ken Walker III didn't practice today. Said HC Pete Carroll: “Ken’s got a little hernia thing that he’s working on and we’ve got to get through that. So I don’t know what to tell you yet, but it’s something that we can attend to and all that ... We’ve just got to make sure that he’s OK by the opener is what we’re shooting for.” (ESPN.com - Brady Henderson)
FFToday's Take:Oddly enough, Anderson reported earlier in the day that Walker "is going to be a bigger part of Seattle's backfield and people may realize." There still a good chance that will happen, but the Seahawks have to hope this is indeed a "little hernia thing" and not the kind of sports hernia that sidelined Rashod Bateman for more than a month last season. If the latter is the case, he will almost certainly not be available for Week 1 and could miss more than a month.
