Seahawks RB Ken Walker (ankle) did not practice on Tuesday. HC Pete Carroll said that Walker was “a little sore coming out” of Thursday night's loss to the 49ers. “We will see how this week goes,” Carroll added. “We have to give him every day to get back." We'll get another update on Walker tomorrow. RB DeeJay Dallas (ankle) was also sidelined on Tuesday.

Seahawks HC Pete Carroll said Tuesday that there's a chance WR Tyler Lockett (finger) makes it back for Week 17. He underwent successful surgery to repair his fractured finger on Monday. We'll keep an eye on Lockett's status, but he's worth keeping stashed on fantasy benches in most cases.

Seahawks WR Tyler Lockett will undergo surgery to repair his fractured finger, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. "It's possible he only misses one game and is back for the final two," Rapoport adds. "But a firm timetable will be available post-surgery." We'll keep you update on Lockett's rehab and timeline for return. His absence next weekend will leave Marquise Goodwin as Seattle's #2 WR -- and leave potential targets for WR D.K. Metcalf and TE Noah Fant.

Seahawks WR Tyler Lockett broke a bone in his index finger late in Thursday night's loss to the 49ers, HC Pete Carroll said. It's unclear right now whether Lockett will need surgery, but Carroll suggested that the injury could sideline Lockett for the rest of the season. We should get more details on the situation today. Hang on to Lockett on fantasy rosters for now -- but prepare to be without him the rest of the way.

Seahawks S Ryan Neal (knee) is active for tonight's game against the 49ers. He was questionable after missing practice this week with a knee issue, but he played through it last week and missed just 1 snap. Blame the short week for his absences. Barring some word from coaches, Neal looks ready for IDP use.

Seahawks RBs DeeJay Dallas and Tony Jones are inactive for tonight's game vs. the 49ers. RBs Ken Walker, Travis Homer and Godwin Igwebuike are dressed for Seattle. We're expecting Walker to see his usual workload tonight.

Seahawks RB Ken Walker (ankle) is not listed on the final injury report for Thursday night's game vs. the 49ers. He was a full-go in practice on Tuesday and Wednesday. It all suggests that Walker should be ready for at least something close to his normal workload -- but the matchup against San Francisco's 3rd-ranked RB defense leaves Walker as a lower-end RB2 this week. RB DeeJay Dallas (ankle) is listed as questionable but is obviously off the fantasy radar with Walker back.

Seahawks RB Ken Walker (ankle) was a full participant in Tuesday's practice. That puts him on track to return for Thursday night's showdown vs. the 49ers. It's a brutal matchup against the 3rd toughest defense in terms of adjusted fantasy points allowed to RBs. But Walker's projected volume keeps him in the RB2 mix.

Seahawks HC Pete Carroll labeled RB Ken Walker (ankle) "day-to-day" on Monday. Walker was listed as a limited participant in Monday's practice, which was a light workout on the short week. It seems like he has a chance to return for Thursday night's game vs. the 49ers, but we'll get another update tomorrow. RB DeeJay Dallas (ankle) did not practice on Monday.

Seahawks QB Geno Smith struggled through most of Sunday's loss to the Panthers, including a pair of INTs. He nearly tossed a 3rd, but CB Jaycee Horn narrowly missed getting a 2nd foot down in bounds. Smith did wind up with a solid 264 yards and 3 TDs passing, the last coming with just 16 seconds to go and his team down 13. Seattle's top 3 WRs all scored, with Marquise Goodwin posting the top line: 5-95-1 on 6 targets. D.K. Metcalf went for 5-71-1 on a team-high 10 targets. Tyler Lockett caught 5 balls for 60 yards and a TD, marking his 6th straight game with a score. Seattle hosts a tough 49ers defense on Thursday night.

Seahawks TE Will Dissly (calf) is active for today’s game vs. the Panthers. He should continue splitting routes with TE Noah Fant.

Seahawks WR D.K. Metcalf (hip) is active for today’s game vs. the Panthers. He was added to the injury report and limited on Thursday and then did not practice on Friday, but HC Pete Carroll said Friday that Metcalf was just getting some rest. It seems like Metcalf will be ready for his usual role in this one.

Seahawks RBs Ken Walker (ankle) and DeeJay Dallas (ankle) are inactive for today’s game vs. the Panthers. That leaves Seattle with RBs Travis Homer, Tony Jones and Godwin Igwebuike. ESPN’s Adam Schefter said this morning that Jones is expected to get the start.

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports that Seahawks RB Kenneth Walker III is not expected to play today against the Panthers. That's more pessimistic than other Saturday reports calling Walker 50/50, but the rookie missed practice all week because of the ankle he injured last week. Don't bet on him being available for your fantasy football lineups this week. With DeeJay Dallas (ankle) also expected to sit, Travis Homer becomes an RB3-level option. We've had him projected as the starter since Tuesday in our Week 14 fantasy football rankings.

ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that Seahawks WR D.K. Metcalf "will play" today against the Panthers. Officially questionable with a hip issue, Metcalf should be in fantasy football lineups.

ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reports that Seahawks RB DeeJay Dallas (ankle) is viewed as a "long shot" to play Sunday against the Panthers. He adds that RB Kenneth Walker III (ankle) is still "considered 50/50." We'll watch the status of both players Sunday, but plan as though Walker won't be available for your fantasy football lineups. Even if he turns up active, Walker is bound to carry escalated risk.

The Seahawks elevated RB Godwin Igwebuike from the practice squad. He joins RBs Ken Walker, DeeJay Dallas, Travis Homer and Tony Jones on the active roster. Walker and Dallas are listed as questionable for Sunday's game vs. the Panthers.

Seahawks TE Will Dissly (calf) is listed as questionable for this weekend's game vs. the Panthers. He got in limited practices on Thursday and Friday and will play on Sunday, HC Pete Carroll said. Dissly should continue splitting routes with TE Noah Fant and would be a desperation fantasy play.

Seahawks RBs Ken Walker (ankle) and DeeJay Dallas (ankle) are listed as questionable for Sunday’s game vs. the Panthers. Neither guy practiced all week, but HC Pete Carroll labeled them game-time decisions. RB Travis Homer (knee) isn’t listed on the final injury report and will be available on Sunday. RB Tony Jones is also on the active roster, while RBs Darwin Thompson, Wayne Gallman and Godwin Igwebuike are on the practice squad. We’ll see if Seattle elevates any of those guys on Saturday.

Seahawks WR D.K. Metcalf (hip) is listed as questionable for this weekend's game vs. the Panthers. He was added to the injury report and limited on Thursday and then did not practice on Friday. HC Pete Carroll said Friday that Metcalf was just getting some rest and will be fine for Sunday. Metcalf can stay penciled into fantasy lineups for now, but we'll look for further updates on his status.
