Running back Ken Walker III and wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba have both been cleared to play for the Seattle Seahawks in Sunday's regular season opener against the Los Angeles Rams.
SEATTLE, WASHINGTON - JANUARY 08: Kenneth Walker III #9 of the Seattle Seahawks carries the ball against the Los Angeles Rams in overtime at Lumen Field on January 08, 2023 in Seattle, Washington. Running back Ken Walker III and wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba have both been cleared to play for theCornerback Devon Witherspoon and starting left guard Damien Lewis are listed as questionable. Head coach Pete Carroll said Lewis will play but was far more cautious on Witherspoon's status.
Mike Jackson and Tre Brown have been battling for the job at left cornerback opposite of Riq Woolen throughout the preseason. Carroll wouldn't indicate who would start, but said they'll both play. Smith-Njigba has been cleared to play less than three weeks removed from surgery to repair a fractured bone in his left wrist. He's practiced throughout the last two weeks while using some padded protection on his wrist.
"I just took it day-by-day and with the information I was given, you know, I just thought I could be back soon," Smith-Njigba said. Meanwhile, Walker popped up on the team's injury report on Thursday as he was limited in practice due to a groin injury. The injury is particularly of note as Walker missed time during training camp with a groin issue as well. He was sidelined after the first day of training camp and missed approximately three weeks before rejoining practices fully."Yeah, he's fine. He's been screaming out here and he's doing great," Carroll said.
