A little over a month ago, the Seattle Seahawks were enjoying a 5-2 record, raising hopes of clinching the NFC West title. However, the tide has turned, and the team has suffered four losses in the last five games, making a playoff berth uncertain. Despite the recent setbacks, the Seahawks aim to bounce back as they face the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday.
The 49ers, in strong form, pose a challenging opponent, but there’s optimism for the Seahawks with running backs Kenneth Walker III and Zach Charbonnet expected to be available for the matchup. This is especially crucial considering the potential absence of Geno Smith due to a groin injury; if Smith is sidelined, Drew Lock might step in at quarterback.
#Seahawks RB Kenneth Walker III (oblique) and RB Zach Charbonnet (knee) both are listed as questionable but both were full participants on Friday. That's a sign both should play Sunday.

Facing a formidable 49ers defense that has allowed the fewest rushing yards in the NFL this season, the Seahawks anticipate challenges in achieving success on the ground. Currently holding a 6-6 record, the Seahawks stand at the No. 8 spot in the NFC playoff picture, trailing the Green Bay Packers for the final postseason berth.
Securing a win against San Francisco is vital for the Seahawks to stay in contention for a playoff spot. While the task is formidable, a victory on Sunday is imperative for Seattle’s postseason aspirations.
