Report: Seahawks' Kenneth Walker Underwent Hernia Surgery; Expected to Play Week 1
Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III reportedly underwent surgery to repair a hernia.
According to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, Walker is expected to make a full recovery and the team hopes he is ready for Week 1 "if all goes well."
Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll told reporters on Tuesday that the 21-year-old was dealing with a hernia and the hope is to have him ready by the 2022 season opener against the Denver Broncos.
The 41st pick in the 2022 NFL draft, Walker will play a key role in Seattle's run-heavy offense when he's healthy.
