Latest Injury Report News and Updates
The Seahawks ruled out running back Kenneth Walker III for Thursday, meaning it will be another start for Zach Charbonnet. Charbonnet is dealing with an elbow injury himself, but logged full practices Tuesday and Wednesday and did not get a game designation for Thursday.
Walker did not practice all week and was ruled out as a result after suffering his ankle injury during Sunday’s loss to the Minnesota Vikings. The Seahawks can move back into a tie atop the NFC West with a win and a Rams loss.
The Bears continue to have injuries up front. Offensive tackle Braxton Jones suffered a broken ankle in Week 16 vs. the Detroit Lions. He is expected to be back for training camp.
Teven Jenkins also got hurt during the Lions game, injuring his ankle. Jenkins has already missed time due to injuries this season and will miss another game Thursday. The short week made it difficult for him to play.
Running back Travis Homer (hamstring), safety Elijah Hicks (ankle/foot) and defensive back Tarvarius Moore (knee) are all listed as out for Thursday as well.
