The Seattle Seahawks suffered a devastating loss to the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday, pushing them to the verge of potential elimination. However, a game and playoff positioning weren’t the only things the Seahawks lost at Lumen Field.
During the fourth quarter, running back Kenneth Walker III exited the game with an ankle injury. Walker was listed as DOUBTFUL to return, and ultimately did not set foot on the field again. This was Walker’s first game back after missing the last two in what has become a frustrating and injury-laden season.
After the game, head coach Mike Macdonald was asked about his starting running back’s injury. Macdonald mentioned Walker was going in to get imaging done, and was not sure about the extent of the injury.
Of course, we at Seahawks Wire will be among the first to report on any further updates on his No. 1 ballcarrier.
A ballcarrier who did not get nearly enough touches in this game, I might add. Offensive coordinator Ryan Grubb yet again abandoned the run in a game he absolutely should have stuck with more. Walker finished the night with only 31 yards on eight rushes. He did have eight receptions for 28 yards, but screen passes and dump off’s can only substitute for actually running the ball for so long.
