Is Kenneth Walker III playing today? (Injury update, impact on prop bets for the Seahawks

Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III was downgraded to questionable for Week 7 against the Atlanta Falcons on Saturday due to an illness.

Walker’s status appears to be really up in the air after the demotion at the end of the week, and there could be a big role for Zach Charbonnet in Seattle’s offense if Walker is unable to participate.

Odds via DraftKings Sportsbook.

Looking at the prop market for this game, Walker is still listed with 68.5 rushing yards and a -140 chance of scoring a touchdown.

So it seems that Vegas believes that the Seattle running back will survive in this matchup despite his illness.

Walker has already missed time in 2024 due to an oblique injury, but when healthy he has been extremely effective, rushing for 234 yards and five scores on 51 carries (4.6 yards per attempt).

Atlanta was pretty solid against the run — allowing just 4.4 yards per carry — so Walker may not be a surefire target in the prop market, especially since he’s only mastered that rushing yards prop in two of his four games .

Bettors should wait until Walker is officially ruled out before making a decision on his props. Even if he plays, there is a risk that he will retire early due to illness.
