Seahawks' Walker doubtful for Week 2 game vs. Patriots

Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker is doubtful for Seattle's Week 2 contest against the New England Patriots due to an oblique injury, the team announced Friday.

Walker didn't participate in practice earlier this week due to the ailment.

The 23-year-old ran for 103 yards and a touchdown on 20 carries in the Seahawks' Week 1 victory over the Denver Broncos. Walker also had two receptions for six yards.

Second-year running back Zach Charbonnet is expected to lead Seattle's backfield if Walker doesn't suit up. Charbonnet tallied 10 touches for 41 scrimmage yards and a touchdown in Week 1.

Kenny McIntosh and undrafted rookie George Holani will likely back up Charbonnet. Holani is on the team's practice squad but is expected to be elevated for Sunday's game, NFL Network's Mike Garafolo reports.

Offensive tackle George Fant is also doubtful for the contest with a knee injury. If Fant is inactive, Stone Forsythe is expected to start in his place.
