The Seattle Seahawks had a bit of a surprise on the Week 12 injury report when it comes to running back Kenneth Walker.
Walker was a full participant in practice on Wednesday and Thursday but popped up on the injury report on Friday with a glute issue, which led to the questionable tag.
While that puts his status up in the air, there are multiple reasons to be confident in Walker's chances of suiting up for the Seahawks on Sunday against the Tennessee Titans.
Here's the latest on his status, and more.
Is Kenneth Walker playing today?
UPDATE: Walker is officially ACTIVE for Week 12.
Yes, Walker is expected to play today, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.
"Seahawks RB Kenneth Walker, listed as questionable for Sunday due to a glute injury, is expected to play vs. The Titans, per source," Schefter reported.
Adding to that, Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald said during the week that he expected Walker to play.
“We’re just taking care of (Walker). I’d say it’s precautionary, but you never know,” Macdonald said. “But I’d say it’s precautionary. He should be fine.”
Kenneth Walker start or sit advice for Week 12
Walker enters Week 12 ranked as RB25 in fantasy points per contest, which puts him on the weekly flex radar.
Walker has been in a frustrating split with fellow back Zach Charbonnet this season, but there could be a change in Week 12 after Macdonald said Walker "deserves some more opportunities" with his recent play.
That recent play included his best fantasy performance of the 2025 campaign, when he ripped off 20.1 fantasy points in his last outing.
The Titans are surrendering the fifth-most fantasy points per game to running backs this season and if the Seahawks play from ahead like we expect them to, Walker could see a ton of work on Sunday.
Consider Walker a high-end flex play with elite upside in Week 12.
