Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III has been ruled out of Thursday's game against the host Chicago Bears due to an ankle injury. Walker returned from a two-game absence due to an ailing calf on Sunday before injuring his ankle in the Seahawks' 27-24 loss to the Minnesota Vikings.

Also inactive for the Seahawks are cornerback Nehemiah Pritchett, linebacker Patrick O'Connell, tackle Micael Jerrell, receiver Cody White and quarterback Jaren Hall, who will dress as the team's emergency third quarterback for the second week in a row after being signed from the practice squad to the 53-man roster last week.

With Walker out, Zach Charbonnet is expected to make another start, and the Seahawks have full confidence in the second-year back, who has rushed for 453 yards and eight touchdowns, including a career-best 134 yards while starting in place of Walker in Seattle's Week 14 win in Arizona.
