CHICAGO — The Seattle Seahawks placed running back Kenneth Walker III on injured reserve prior to their game against the Chicago Bears because of an ankle injury. Walker hurt his ankle in last week's loss to Minnesota and left that game after sitting out the previous two because of a calf problem. He also missed two weeks in September with an oblique issue. Walker has run for 573 yards and seven touchdowns on 153 carries. A second-round draft pick by Seattle in 2022, he has 2,528 yards rushing and 24 TDs in his career. Walker could, in theory, return if the Seahawks win two playoff games, though their postseason hopes were slim entering the game against Chicago. Seattle trailed the NFC West-leading Los Angeles Rams by one game with two to play.
