Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III has been ruled out of Thursday’s game against the host Chicago Bears due to an ankle injury.
Walker returned from a two-game absence due to an ailing calf on Sunday before injuring his ankle in the Seahawks’ 27-24 loss to the Minnesota Vikings.
Zach Charbonnet is set to shoulder the load in the backfield for the Seahawks (8-7), who have lost two in a row heading into Thursday’s game against the Bears (4-11).
Seattle is in a must-win situation. Even if the Seahawks can top Chicago and beat the Los Angeles Rams in Week 18, they still might miss out on the postseason because of the strength-of-victory tiebreaker.
Walker, 24, leads Seattle in carries (153) and rushing yards (573) to go along with seven rushing touchdowns.
Charbonnet, 23, has a team-best eight rushing touchdowns to go along with 106 carries for 453 yards.
The Seahawks also ruled out tight end Brady Russell (foot) and safety K’Von Wallace (ankle) for Thursday’s game.
The Bears will be without defensive backs Elijah Hicks (ankle/foot) and Tarvarius Moore (knee), running back Travis Homer (hamstring) and offensive lineman Teven Jenkins (calf).
