What Mike Macdonald said regarding George Fant, Ken Walker injuries

The Seattle Seahawks suffered a couple setbacks in their 26-20 victory over the Denver Broncos on Sunday.

With just under four minutes left in the first quarter, right tackle George Fant went down with an apparent injury to his right knee. It’s not clear what the injury is, but he had to be helped off the field. He was seen testing his knee after leaving the medical tent to see if he’d be able to return. Whether the decision was his or not, he was ruled out for the remainder of the game shortly after.

Mike Macdonald didn’t have any information during his post-game press conference, and as of Monday afternoon, there wasn’t any real update, but he did mention they were taking it “day by day” which could be taken as an good sign that there isn’t any serious damage, but given that Fant was serving as the backup to Abraham Lucas, who will be on the injured reserve until at least week 5, there is plenty of cause for concern.

Nearing the end of a terrific performance, running back Kenneth Walker III, walked off the field in the 4th quarter, gesturing to his side/waist and wouldn’t return to the game. The injury was officially listed as an abdominal injury, but no further details were known after the game. Walker did mention in his press conference that he was fine, but there’s no doubt the Seahawks want to play it safe with him until they get more information. Walker is also considered “day by day” according to Macdonald.

K9 ended the season opener with 103 yards on 20 carries including a 23 yard run (and 4 yard superman dive) for a touchdown. He also connected with Geno Smith for a 6 yard touchdown pass on the following possession, but the play would be nullified by a holding penalty on DK Metcalf.

Coach Mike Macdonald says on #Seahawks RB Kenneth Walker, status for this week with the abdominal pain that took him out of the win over Denver late after his 103-yard rushing day: “Nothing new right now. Takin it day by day with K-9.”@thenewstribune

We’re still working hard to decipher what coach means when he says “day by day”, but at this time, it seems less worrisome than when Pete Carroll would say “legit.” Hoping to have both George Fant and Kenneth Walker III available for this Sunday’s outing against the New England Patriots.

Projected Lineup: Feb. 26 vs. Seattle | St. Louis Blues

The St. Louis Blues are back in action as they host the Seattle Kraken on Thursday at Enterprise Center (7 p.m., FanDuel Sports Network Midwest, 101 ESPN).

It will be the team’s first game since Feb. 4, and Jim Montgomery said the squad is ready to get back to work.

“Yeah, I think everybody is,” the head coach said. “I mean, you can tell. Guys were anxious today, but it’s like ‘enough of practicing against each other, it’s time to play a game.’”

Captain Brayden Schenn, who missed Wednesday’s practice with an illness, took the morning skate and is expected to play. Dylan Holloway (ankle), who has played just one game since Dec. 12, will make his return to the lineup as well.

Robert Thomas has taken a leave of absence due to a personal matter. He’s expected to return to the team on Friday.

Additionally Jack Finley will make his Blues debut. Finley – who is the son of former Blue Jeff Finley and was born in St. Louis – was claimed off waivers by the team on Feb. 7.

“It was a dream of mine to play for this team,” Finley said. “It was a big part of my childhood, big part of my family’s life. So definitely full-circle moment and proud to be a Blue.”

Jeff, who played defense for the Blues from 1998-2004, will be in the building Thursday night to see his son don the jersey he wore for so many years.

“He was excited,” Jack said about his dad. “Maybe more excited than me. He loved this organization, loved this city… He’s excited to be back.”
