RENTON, Wash. -- The Seattle Seahawks are getting leading rusher Kenneth Walker III back from his ankle injury for Thursday night's NFC West showdown with the San Francisco 49ers at Lumen Field.
He did not have a game designation on their final injury report, indicating that he's expected to play.
Walker missed the Seahawks' loss to the Carolina Panthers last Sunday as well as the second half of their victory over the Los Angeles Rams the week before after jamming his ankle.
Coach Pete Carroll wouldn't declare that Walker would play against the 49ers when he met with reporters Wednesday afternoon, but he said the rookie second-round pick "finished the week doing well" in practice.
