Seattle Seahawks second-year running back Kenneth Walker III will miss a second consecutive game on Thursday night.
Walker (oblique), who was listed as doubtful coming into the game, is officially on Seattle’s inactive list for the matchup against the 8-3 Dallas Cowboys.
That means, for the third game in a row, second-round rookie Zach Charbonnet will be called upon to carry the backfield load for the 6-5 Seahawks.
Charbonnet, who also saw the majority of reps in Week 11 after Walker was injured on the opening possession, has rushed for 94 yards on 29 carries and gained an additional 33 yards on 10 catches the last three weeks.
DeeJay Dallas and seventh-round rookie Kenny McIntosh are also available at running back for Seattle tonight.

Seattle and Dallas will kick off 8:15 p.m. ET tonight on Amazon Prime Video.
