Seahawks' Walker III, Burns Among Inactives vs Packers

For a second consecutive week the Seattle Seahawks are going to play without starting running back Kenneth Walker III when the NFC West leader hosts the Green Bay Packers on Sunday Night Football at Lumen Field. 

The team revealed before kickoff the former second-round pick out of Michigan State is inactive for the Week 15 matchup with a calf injury. 

Second-year running back Zach Charbonnet, who ran for a career-high 134 yards and 2 touchdowns in Seattle's 30-18 victory over the Arizona Cardinals in Glendale last Sunday, is expected to be relied upon once again to fill the void as the Seahawks look to maintain their perch atop the division. 

In addition, cornerbacks Tre Brown and Artie Burns, along with linebacker Trevis Gipson, wide receiver Cody White, tight end Brady Russell and quarterback Jaren Hall are among the other six inactive players for Seattle. 

The Seahawks activated Burns, a former 2016 first-round pick by the Pittsburgh Steelers who signed with the Seahawks in 2022, on Saturday coming off a toe injury suffered in October, but he won't be available against the Packers.
