Kenneth Walker III in Full Pads for Third Straight Practice

Thursday, August 21, 12:06 PM

Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III (foot) is in full pads at practice on Thursday for the third straight day, according to Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune. Walker suffered a minor foot injury earlier this month and had been alternating practice days as a precaution given his lengthy history with lower-body ailments. The 24-year-old appears to be moving past the foot issue in the final week of the preseason, but he'll probably be held out of the finale this weekend against the Green Bay Packers. Walker has been very productive for Seattle and fantasy managers when he's healthy, but he's almost guaranteed to miss some time again in 2025 due to injury. It's why the Seahawks have hinted that they will involve Zach Charbonnet more in order to try and keep Walker available. He has become a risk/reward RB2 for fantasy purposes.

Tyjae Spears Still in a Boot

Sunday, August 24, 8:47 AM

Tennessee Titans running back Tyjae Spears (ankle) is currently uncertain for the season opener due to injury. A few weeks ago, Spears suffered a high ankle sprain during a preseason contest. As of this week, Spears is still in a safety boot and moving around with a scooter. It doesn't seem like Spears is going to be ready for Week 1, but there is still some time. If he's out, Julius Chestnut and Kalel Mullings figure to operate as the backups behind Tony Pollard. Spears figures to have a significant role in the offense once he's cleared to play. Fantasy managers will need to check back for another update on his status.
