Seahawks' Walker Active Amidst Injury Challenges

Seattle Seahawks' starting running back Kenneth Walker III will play against the Atlanta Falcons despite being added to the injury report with an illness. Walker's presence is crucial as the Seahawks aim to break a three-game losing streak, with him having accumulated 234 rushing yards and five touchdowns in four games this season. The team faces defensive setbacks with cornerbacks Riq Woolen and Tre Brown out due to ankle injuries, forcing rookies Nehemiah Pritchett and practice squad players into starting roles. The offensive line is impacted by Stone Forsythe's hand injury, leading to rookie Mike Jerrell making his NFL debut at right tackle. Seattle's inactives include defensive tackle Cameron Young and linebacker Trevis Gipson, highlighting the roster challenges the team is managing. Despite these hurdles, Walker's activation is seen as a potential boost for the team's offense, which has been overly reliant on quarterback Geno Smith recently.
