Seahawks RB Kenneth Walker III doubtful for upcoming game, Zach Charbonnet shines in his absence

Why it matters: The Seahawks may have to rely on backup running back Zach Charbonnet as Kenneth Walker III is listed as doubtful due to a calf injury.

• Charbonnet showcased his talent in the previous game, rushing for 134 yards and scoring two touchdowns.

Yes, but: Seattle could potentially elevate rookie George Holani from the practice squad to provide additional depth in the backfield.

• Holani would offer another option alongside Charbonnet in case of any further injuries or setbacks.

What's new: Alongside Walker's doubtful status, cornerback Artie Burns is also listed as doubtful, while tight end Brady Russell, cornerback Tre Brown, safeties K'Von Wallace and Jerrick Reed II, and tackle Stone Forsythe have been ruled out for the game.

• These absences could impact the team's defensive capabilities and overall depth on the field.

What to watch: With the NFC West being highly competitive, the Seahawks currently hold a half-game lead over the Los Angeles Rams.

• The outcome of this game against the Green Bay Packers could have significant implications for the division standings.

What's next: Coach Mike Macdonald mentioned that Walker's status could change before the game, but as of now, he is considered doubtful.

• The team will continue monitoring his progress and make a final determination closer to game day.

The bottom line: Injuries can significantly impact a team's performance, and the Seahawks will need to adjust their game plan if Walker is unable to play.

• Charbonnet's strong performance provides some reassurance, but the team will need contributions from other players to compensate for the various absences.
