The Seattle Seahawks look ready for a close game against the Miami Dolphins this Sunday. Among them, though not expected to miss, will be the running back Ken Walker III, who is doubtful with an oblique injury. Coach Mike McDonald seems very positive about his return next week. The injuries to parts of the team running alongside have a lot to get over before they can win the game for themselves.
Injury Scare for Ken Walker III
Ken Walker III got his season off to a flyer, but injury could cut that shorthanded contribution short when the Seattle Seahawks take on the Los Angeles Rams. He missed the win over the New England Patriots and enters the next game with a doubtful tag. Walker is not ready for Sunday; however, he is optimistic regarding Week 4 particularly with a day more before the Seattle Seahawks clash with the Detroit Lions. That would make a huge difference, as his presence would benefit Seattle’s success, mostly the offense.
Outside of Walker, the Seattle Seahawks will not have outside linebacker Uchenna Nwosu and right tackle George Fant, who will not suit up with knee injuries. The former has an MCL sprain he sustained during preseason, while the latter’s absence will test the mettle of their offensive line.
It is a test for the other players in this team because of the missing players. They have to take things to another level so the whole team doesn’t feel the brunt at the hands of a more-than-capable Dolphins team.
Zach Charbonnet Stepping Up
Without Walker, Zach Charbonnet was the last man standing in the last game and played a key role in the offense. With 19 touches for 69 yards and one touchdown catch, his performance says he should be able to carry on with the workload. The Seattle Seahawks are going to need more depth in the running game. Kenny McIntosh is the depth, but also on the practice squad are George Holani and Brittain Brown. Of course, though, Holani’s injury adds to their challenges.
Among the defensive players for the Seahawks listed as questionable because of injuries, they trend positively: Boye Mafe and K’Von Wallace, along with Laviska Shenault Jr., could play; they’ve been somewhat limited in practice lately but seemed fine over the past few days, so things may work out with Mafe being involved. He would bring the skill on this side of the ball that would help greatly for a team that needs its defense to stiffen up a little bit against what should be an explosive Miami offense.
Importance of Team Cohesion
Team cohesion will be of more significance for the Seattle Seahawks during such problems. The coaching staff pays much attention to the adjustments of strategy and finding a way of getting the best out of players who are on hand. The team has to communicate effectively on the field so that the loss of its star players doesn’t show any detrimental effect. It is testing time for the Seahawks to come out well against all setbacks.
The match against the Dolphins will be a real test for the Seattle Seahawks. Miami’s offense happens to rank amongst the most powerful, and the Seattle Seahawks’ defense has to be ready for this game. With key starters not in attendance, every other man for the Seahawks has to step up and carry through the execution of their game strategy. Seattle’s offense is to control the ball but keep the Dolphins’ very potent attack off the field.
Conclusion: Test of Resilience
A tough road waits ahead with the Dolphins and Seattle Seahawks. They face a big hole with the absence of Ken Walker III and other injuries. However, the team remains positive and prepared to adjust. Zach Charbonnet and other players may be just what the doctor ordered as injured teammates return from the sidelines. The Seahawks have to win and come together for victory in Seattle. The fans are more anxious about seeing how the Seahawks play against Seattle.
