Seattle Seahawks Inactives: RB Kenneth Walker III, six others out
The Seattle Seahawks announced seven players, including their starting running back, will be inactive against the New England Patriots.
Bump: A Patriots defender the Seahawks need to contain
Running back Kenneth Walker III, tackle George Fant, outside linebacker Uchenna Nwosu, tight end Pharaoh Brown, center Olu Oluwatimi, tackle Michael Jerrell and guard Sataoa Laumea were all designated as inactive for Sunday’s matchup at Gillette Stadium.
Starting linebackers Tyrel Dodson and Jerome Baker, who were listed as questionable on Friday’s final injury report, are active.
The announcement confirms the likely absences of Walker and Fant, who each carried doubtful injury designations into the matchup. Walker was pulled late in Seattle’s Week 1 victory with an abdomen injury after rushing for over 100 yards and a touchdown against Denver. Fant also left the win over the Broncos early with an undisclosed knee injury. Both did not participate in practices throughout the week.
Zach Charbonnet is in line to get the bulk of the time at running back with Walker out, with Kenny McIntosh and recently promoted George Holani serving as the backups. Four-year pro Stone Forsythe is expected to get the start at right tackle for Fant, who was already replacing injured Abraham Lucas. Forsythe played all 54 offensive snaps after Fant exited in Week 1.
Nwosu (MCL sprain) and Brown (foot) will be out for the second straight week while dealing with injuries suffered in the preseason.
Oluwatimi, Jerrell and Laumea were all healthy scratches after carrying no injury designations throughout the week.
Patriots inactives
Five Patriots players were listed as inactive for the matchup, most notably starting guard Sidy Sow.
New England is also set to be without quarterback Joe Milton III, wide receiver Kayshon Boutte, tackle Demontrey Jacobs and linebacker Curtis Jacobs.

VIDEO: Mayor Wilson proposes renewing, expanding Seattle Transit Measure by doubling the sales-tax percentage that funds it.
Through the end of this year, 0.15% of the sales tax you pay funds the voter-approved Seattle Transit Measure. That would double to 0.30% if the City Council and Seattle voters approve the renewal/expansion that Mayor Katie Wilson officially introduced this afternoon. She said it’ll make living in Seattle more affordable by enabling more people to “live car-free or car-light.” She acknowledged that raising the sales tax isn’t ideal but noted that it’s one of the few revenue-raising tools available under state law. Besides paying for more transit – 280,000 additional Metro bus trips a year, 100,000 more than the current measure funds – it also would pay for 22,000 free ORCA transit passes, more than double what the city provides now, said acting SDOT director Angela Brady during the announcement event at City Hall. The passes are now available to Seattle Promise scholars, low-income Seattle Preschool Program families, and Seattle Housing Authority residents. The measure’s renewal/expansion would also make those passes available to Housing Choice Voucher participants.
The mayor’s announcement says the Transit Measure isn’t just about buses: It also would “support the design and delivery of Sound Transit’s West Seattle Link Extension, Ballard Link Extension, and Graham Street Station.” The 0.30% sales tax would generate an estimated $138 million average per year for the 10 years of this measure, which is proposed to go to voters in November. Council review starts this Thursday and will be led by District 1 City Councilmember Rob Saka, who chairs the council committee that oversees transportation. We’ll add the specific text of the proposal when we get it; the slide deck for Thursday’s council meeting is now available, and we’ll add some highlights from that soon.
