Walker is expected to be out “a while until they quiet (the groin injury) down”. The worry comes if this is related to the sports hernia surgery Walker underwent last August that caused him to miss the season opener against the Denver Broncos.

As things currently stand there is no reason to believe KW3 is in danger of missing Week 1. If Walker does miss time Seattle cannot count on rookie 2nd-Rounder Zach Charbonnet to pick up the slack. The former UCLA RB is out indefinitely with an unspecified shoulder injury. Last year’s RB2 DeeJay Dallas will compete with rookie 7th-Rounder for reps with the 1st Team while Walker and Charbonnet are out.
