Seahawks Week 17 inactive: 6 players will not play

The Seattle Seahawks are less than two hours away from kickoff against the Chicago Bears on Thursday Night Football. Both teams’ inactive lists have dropped and, as expected, running back Kenneth Walker III will not play. Walker was added to the injured reserve list on Thursday. Unless the Seahawks somehow find their way to the NFC Championship Game, Walker’s 2024 season is complete.

Joining Walker on the sidelines will be several other players, including tight end Brady Russell, who will be out for several weeks due to his injury. While he is inactive, quarterback Jaren Hall is listed as the emergency third-string quarterback. Given Geno Smith’s knee injury, having a little extra insurance at the most important position in all sports isn’t a bad idea.

On the other side of the ball, 12s should recognize another familiar name. Running back Travis Homer for the Bears is inactive. Homer was originally drafted by the Seahawks in the 6th round of the 2019 NFL Draft and spent the first four years of his career in Seattle. After his rookie contract expired, Homer signed a two-year contract with Chicago in 2023.

Both teams’ full inactivity report can be seen below.
