NFL Network's Mike Garafolo says the Seahawks will announce RB Zach Charbonnet as the starter for today's game against the Vikings. "Expect him to be a big part of the plan as well," he said, adding to the report that RB Kenneth Walker III is expected to go without limitations.

Seahawks RBs Ken Walker (calf) and Zach Charbonnet (oblique) are off the final Week 16 injury report. Both guys put in full practices on Friday. Walker should return to his role as lead back, but there’s some chance that Charbonnet earned more work with his play over the last two weeks. It’s also a tough matchup against the Vikings’ third-ranked RB defense. It has Walker sitting a bit lower than usual in the Week 16 RB Rankings.

Seahawks RB Ken Walker (calf) was listed as a full participant in Thursday's practice. That should have him on track to return for this weekend's game vs. the Vikings. We'll look for any hints about how big a workload he'll be ready for him in that one. It's a tough matchup against Minnesota's third-ranked RB defense. RB Zach Charbonnet (oblique) was limited on Thursday after missing Wednesday's practice.

Seahawks RBs Ken Walker (calf) and Zach Charbonnet (oblique) did not practice on Wednesday. HC Mike Macdonald said that Walker participated in the walkthrough and that he's "optimistic" about his status for Sunday's game vs. the Vikings. We'll see if he practices tomorrow. We don't have any details on Charbonnet, but we're guessing this is more of a maintenance day for a guy who's handled 38 touches over the last two weeks. Check back tomorrow for another update on this backfield.
