One of the biggest storylines surrounding the Seattle Seahawks this season is how are they going to replace Kenneth Walker III after he went to the Kansas City Chiefs in the offseason?
Well, the Seahawks had the last word on Sunday night by beating the Chiefs 20-3. Seattle's defense held Walker to just 36 rushing yards, his lowest in a game this season.
As for the Seahawks' running back room, they haven't been able to produce the same way Walker did in Seattle previously. Part of the reason for that is due to multiple injuries hitting the running backs.

Jadarian Price went on the injured reserve list after Week 3 due to a chest and rib injury. Zach Charbonnet has been out since the NFC divisional round in January after he tore his ACL. Then, on Sunday against the Chiefs, running back Velus Jones Jr. suffered a hamstring injury to make him questionable for Week 8.
These injuries left just Emanuel Wilson (403 yards, three touchdowns) and George Holani (108 yards, one touchdown) as the two healthy running backs on the roster.
...
But, that could change next week. The Seahawks revealed exciting news on Monday: Price's 21-day practice window was officially opened, meaning there's a chance the team will gain him back for the Week 8 matchup versus the Chicago Bears next Monday night.
Additionally, Charbonnet's practice window opened on Oct. 1, and the Seahawks activated him to the 53-man roster last week. He didn't play against the Chiefs, but coach Mike Macdonald hasn't ruled him out for the contest versus the Bears.
The Seahawks could be adding two key running backs to the field against the Bears. It would be huge for the Seahawks' push to turn things around after originally starting the season 3-3. A win over the undefeated Chiefs surely helped build their team's confidence, and the addition of Price and Charbonnet will only add to that.
