Friday Injury Report

The Seahawks have ruled out three players for Sunday's matchup vs. the Vikings because of injuries. Tight end Brady Russell will miss his second consecutive game and fourth of the season due to a foot injury. Russell missed two games in November and was able to return for two weeks but suffered a setback and was forced to miss last week's game vs. the Packers. After not practicing this week, Russell will not suit up vs. Minnesota.

Safety K'Von Wallace and linebacker Trevis Gipson will not play as they are dealing with ankle injuries. Wallace returned to practice from injured reserve earlier this month and was a full participant in practice this week but will not play on Sunday. Gipson has been a healthy scratch for every game since Week 6 but will miss this game after suffering an injury in practice this week.

Quarterback Geno Smith and running back Kenneth Walker III are not on the game status report so they will both be available for Sunday. After suffering a knee injury last week vs. the Packers, Smith was a full participant in all three practices this week so he will be ready to start vs. the Vikings. "He keeps getting better every day. It seems like he's in great spirits and is operating the offense really well. We are excited about him," said head coach Mike Macdonald after practice on Friday afternoon.

Kenneth Walker III will return to the lineup after missing the past two games with a calf injury. Walker sat out the first practice of the week but was a full participant in the final two of the week. "He looks really good. I think he's confident," said coach Macdonald. Zach Charbonnet stepped in the starting lineup for Walker in his absence and was listed with an oblique injury to start the week. He was able to return to practice yesterday after missing Wednesday's practice and is not on the game status report so he will be available to play.

Like Geno Smith, starting center Olu Oluwatimi will be available this week after suffering an injury against Green Bay. Oluwatimi sustained a knee injury and was unable to return to the game last week but was able to practice this week so he will play on Sunday.

The Vikings have ruled out two players and listed two more as questionable for Sunday. Cornerback Fabian Moreau and Jalen Redmond will not play this week as they have not been able to practice all week because of injuries. Safety Harrison Smith and fullback C.J. Ham are questionable with foot and ankle injuries respectively. Smith was limited in two practices this week and sat out on Thursday. Cornerback Stephon Gilmore will return to game action after missing the past two games with a hamstring injury.

Thursday Injury Report

The Seahawks continued their week of preparation with a practice on Thursday afternoon and were missing five players, two due to injuries and three for resting purposes. The two players who were unable to participate because of injuries were tight end Brady Russell and linebacker Trevis Gipson. Russell missed two games in November and the most recent game, the loss to Green Bay, due to the foot injury. Gipson was limited on Wednesday with an ankle injury and did not participate in today's practice.

Quarterback Geno Smith and running back Kenneth Walker III were both full participants in today's practice. This is the second consecutive day that Smith has been a full participant after suffering a knee injury last Sunday. Despite the injury, Smith is making progress in his recovery and is confident he will be ready for Sunday vs. the Minnesota Vikings. "I'm getting better every day, and I'm looking forward to Sunday," Smith said prior to Thursday's practice. Walker has been forced to sit out the past two weeks with a calf injury but was able to get work in today without any limitations.

Four players were limited in practice, including center Olu Oluwatimi. The second-year center out of Michigan took over the starting role in the Week 11 win at the 49ers but suffered a knee injury vs. the Packers. After not participating to start the week, Oluwatimi returned to practice in a limited capacity today. Zach Charbonnet was unable to practice yesterday due to an oblique injury but was able to get limited work in today.

The Vikings had their first practice of the week today and were missing three players. All-pro safety Harrison Smith was among the three players missing from practice as he is dealing with a foot injury that limited him in Monday's walkthrough. Cornerback Fabian Moreau and defensive lineman Jalen Redmond were non-participants for the second straight day.

Wednesday Injury Report

The Seahawks practiced without ten players to start their week of preparation for their regular season home finale vs. the Vikings as six players sat out due to injury and four veterans sat out for resting purposes.

In good news, quarterback Geno Smith was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, just three days after suffering a knee injury against the Packers. Smith sustained a knee injury in the second half of Sunday's loss to Green Bay and was unable to return. Despite the injury, Smith was feeling well enough to get a full workload in today. "Geno feels good," coach Macdonald said before practice. "He did walkthrough today. We've got a plan for practice, we'll see how it kind of alters his practice as it clears, but he'll be out there for a significant capacity today. We'll see how many reps he takes."

The team's top two leading rushers, Kenneth Walker III and Zach Charbonnet, did not practice today as they are dealing with injuries. Walker hasn't practiced in the past couple of weeks due to a calf injury he suffered in the Week 13 win over the New York Jets. While he remained out of practice today, Walker participated in the team's walkthrough and could get an increased workload tomorrow. "We're optimistic. We'll see about how many reps today, but he did walkthrough. We'll probably ramp it up a little bit more tomorrow," said head coach Mike Macdonald prior to practice. Charbonnet has gotten the majority of the carries in Walker's absence but is now dealing with an oblique injury that prevented him from practicing today.

Center Olu Oluwatimi was unable to practice due to a knee injury that forced him to exit the Week 16 loss to the Packers on Sunday night. Oluwatimi was unable to return to the game so undrafted rookie free agent Jalen Sundell stepped in at center. While he was unable to practice today, the team expects him back in some capacity tomorrow. "Olu, might not see him today in full capacity, but should be out there tomorrow rocking and rolling," said coach Macdonald. DK Metcalf sat out with a shoulder injury that has placed him on the injury report in recent weeks, but it has not prevented him from playing in games.

The Vikings did not practice today but held a walkthrough and were only missing two players due to injury. Cornerback Fabian Moreau (hip) and defensive lineman Jalen Redmond (concussion) were unable to participate in today's walkthrough. Five players were limited including All-Pro safety Harrison Smith who is dealing with a foot injury. Also limited was right tackle Brian O'Neill who suffered a knee injury in Monday's win over Chicago.
