The Seattle Seahawks will be without Kenneth Walker in their NFC West showdown with the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday after ruling out their leading rusher because of a calf injury, Brady Henderson of ESPN reports.

Walker was initially listed as questionable because of calf and ankle injuries that kept him from practicing Thursday and Friday. The team downgraded Walker to out on Saturday while only listing the calf injury as the reason.

Seattle elevated running back George Holani off its practice squad for backfield depth behind Zach Charbonnet and Kenny McIntosh. Charbonnet, who made two fill-in starts earlier this season while Walker was out because of an oblique injury, will take over again as Seattle's lead back.

The Seahawks also elevated backup punter Ty Zentner from their practice squad on Saturday and added cornerback Tre Brown (hamstring) to their injury report as doubtful. Seattle signed Zentner on Friday as Michael Dickson continues to work through a back injury that kept him from punting late last week in Seattle's win over the New York Jets.
