Kenneth Walker has played a huge role in the running game for the Seattle Seahawks this season but has been suffering from a series of injuries lately. That is saying a lot coming from a Pete Carroll offense where historically the running back position is completely interchangeable. Seattle may be getting some great news leading into Week 16 regarding the focal point of their offense.

Kenneth Walker has managed to limp through the past few weeks with a shoulder injury and his status for the Sunday afternoon matchup with the Tennessee Titans. Fortunately for Tennessee, the running back has officially been upgraded to questionable and is expected to play this week per NFL Insider Adam Schefter.

The explosiveness that Walker brings to the table is a huge boost to the Seattle offense as the team has struggled without him in recent weeks. They miraculously pulled out a win over NFC powerhouse Philadelphia on Monday Night but it appears that they’ll be returning both Walker and quarterback Geno Smith this week.

While Tennessee certainly isn’t a powerhouse, their run defense has been sound throughout the season and having their star running back will certainly help the Seattle offense on its way to a playoff spot.
