Seahawks RB Kenneth Walker III lands on IR due to ankle injury

CHICAGO -- The Seattle Seahawks will be without Kenneth Walker III for their playoff push after placing their leading rusher on injured reserve Thursday.

Walker had already been ruled out for Seattle's Thursday night game against the Chicago Bears because of an ankle injury he suffered last Sunday. He went down in the fourth quarter of Seattle's loss to the Minnesota Vikings, did not return to the game and was listed as a non-participant all three days this week.

To take his place on the 53-man roster, the Seahawks signed rookie George Holani off their practice squad.
