Walker is listed as the Seahawks' starting running back on the team's initial Week 1 depth chart.
Walker dealt with a groin injury to start training camp, but he returned to full practices before the third preseason game. He didn't play at all during the preseason as a precaution. The second-year running back faced competition from rookie second-round pick Zach Charbonnet during camp, but Walker appears set to head into the Sept. 10 opener versus the Rams as the No. 1 back. Waker's placement on the depth chart isn't surprising after he rushed for 1,050 yards and nine touchdowns on 228 carries (4.6 YPC) as a rookie. As long as he remains productive, Walker should retain the edge over Charbonnet in terms of playing time out of the backfield.
