Seahawks wary of Walker, Charbonnet injuries as camp rolls on - ESPN

RENTON, Wash. — The Seattle Seahawks are dealing with injuries to their top two running backs during the first week of training camp.

Starter Ken Walker III is considered week to week because of a groin injury that has kept him out of the past three practices, coach Pete Carroll said Sunday after the fourth practice of camp. Meanwhile, rookie second-round pick Zach Charbonnet missed his second straight practice because of discomfort in his shoulder.

Carroll answered in the affirmative when asked if Walker is week to week.

«Yeah, because it's a groin, we've got to make sure,» Carroll said. «He doesn't feel bad. It's not a terrible injury or anything like that. We just don't want to aggravate it now and make it something that lingers through camp.'

Walker finished second in voting for AP Offensive Rookie of the Year last season after rushing for 1,050 yards and nine touchdowns. The Seahawks drafted Charbonnet with the 52nd pick to be their No. 2 running back.

Carroll didn't offer a specific timetable for Charbonnet, saying, „We'll take some time figure it out.“

»It just kind of crept up on him, really," Carroll said. «He didn't get hit or anything like that. Just all the sudden, he started to feel something, so we're just checking him out and being really cautious right now.»

Fourth-year veteran DeeJay Dallas and rookie seventh-round pick Kenny McIntosh have gotten increased reps in recent days with Walker and Charbonnet both out.

Left guard Damien Lewis missed practice Sunday because of an illness.

The Seahawks activated tight end Noah Fant (knee) off the physically unable to perform (PUP) list Sunday. Carroll said none of their other players on the PUP — a list that includes safety Jamal Adams, cornerback Tariq Woolen
