Kenneth Walker III injury update: Latest on Seahawks RB for Fantasy Football Week 5

Kenneth Walker III is a key part of the Seattle Seahawks' offense. The running back is a safety blanket for quarterback Geno Smith and a potential dual threat in Seattle's system.

Ahead of Week 5, let's take a look at Kenneth Walker III's injury status.

Kenneth Walker III's injury update

According to Seattle Seahawks insider Bob Condotta, Kenneth Walker III is listed as a limited participant in training. The veteran running back was downgraded after being listed as a full participant in Wednesday's training session.

According to CBS Sports, he began Week 5 preparation with a full roster after Wednesday's walkthrough but switched to a capped session one day later. The rusher's designation is most likely the result of an oblique injury.

Walker III missed Weeks 2 and 3 due to injury, but in Week 4, he rushed for 116 yards and three touchdowns on a 59% snap share against the Detroit Lions. Friday's injury report will be vital in determining Walker III's participation in Week 5 versus the New York Giants.

Seattle Seahawks injury report

The Seattle Seahawks have several players on the injury report ahead of their Week 5 game against the New York Giants. Three players did not participate in Thursday's session: defensive tackles Byron Murphy II (hamstring) and Johnathan Hankins (personal reasons) and linebacker Tyrice Knight (knee).

Some key players who were limited in practice are Pharaoh Brown, Tyler Lockett, Uchenna Nwosu, DK Metcalf, Walker III, Cameron Young, and Leonard Williams.

The Seattle Seahawks are up against the New York Giants in Week 5. The Giants are 1-3 for the season and are dealing with injury problems of their own. Their star rookie wide receiver Malik Nabers is in concussion protocol.

However, the Seahawks must not underestimate the Giants, as their running back, Devin Singletary, is having a decent start to the season.

The Seahawks faithful hope Kenneth Walker III and other Seahawks stars will be available for their crucial home game in Week 5. Games against such opponents might go a long way toward ensuring a playoff spot.
