Kenneth Walker is listed as questionable to play in Week 16, but Pete Carroll says the Seattle Seahawks running back is expected to face the Kansas City Chiefs.

Walker has been dealing with an ankle injury suffered in the Seahawks' Dec. 4 win over the Los Angeles Rams.

He missed Seattle's next game and returned last Thursday night to play 48 of 64 offensive snaps in a loss to the San Francisco 49ers.

Carroll said Walker "should be ready to go" despite not practicing all week. 

Tyler Lockett broke a bone in his index finger late in the Seattle Seahawks' loss to the San Francisco 49ers on Thursday night.

The Seahawks are still trying to determine the best course of action, Pete Carroll said, and it might be Lockett having surgery with the hope of returning at some point this season.

Carroll said Lockett believes he can return in two weeks.

"There's a couple different ways that they can do the surgery," Carroll said. "One of the ways gives him a chance to be back. Remember Rashaad Penny ... had an injury similar, very similar. So they've already floated that thought and they're going to talk about all the options and all that and we're going to love him up and take care of him. Whatever the right thing to do to take care of him, we're going to do."

For the first time since 2019, the San Francisco 49ers are NFC West division champions.

And though Lumen Field has been something of a house of horrors for them for the past decade-plus, it also has been the site of their two most recent hat-and-T-shirt celebrations.

This time, the Niners wrapped up the NFC West on Thursday night against the Seattle Seahawks with a resounding 21-13 victory. When they claimed the division crown in 2019, that clinch also happened in Seattle.

Kenneth Walker III exited the Seattle Seahawks' 27-23 win over the Los Angeles Rams in the first half with an injured ankle and did not return.

Walker left the game after carrying three times for 36 yards. The rookie's right ankle was examined extensively on the sideline before he was ruled out early in the third quarter.

"I can't tell you because it's not an ankle sprain," Pete Carroll said after the game. "He jammed it, so I'm not quite sure of what to tell you right now. We don't know."
