Kenneth Walker News: Practicing part-time

Walker has been alternating days on and off the practice field since returning from a minor foot injury last week, Gregg Bell of The News Tribune reports.

Seahawks coach Mike Macdonald said it's all part of a plan to keep Walker healthy, not a product of any setback that might threaten the running back's Week 1 availability. Lower-body injuries have been a near-constant for the 24-year-old since he entered the NFL, although he played 15 regular-season games in both 2022 and 2023 before slumping to just 11 appearances last season. The combination of Walker's durability concerns and Zach Charbonnet's solid work in his absence has led to discussion this summer about how the backfield workload will be split under new offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak.
