Kenneth Walker named AFC offensive player of the month
The Chiefs have started the season 3-0 and the reigning Super Bowl MVP is a big reason why. truewildgame.online
Running back Kenneth Walker has been named AFC offensive player of the month.
Walker leads the league with 360 yards rushing through three weeks. He’s also totaled 442 yards from scrimmage with four total touchdowns — two rushing and two receiving.
Walker became the first player in league history with a rushing and receiving touchdown in two of his first three games with a team.
The league notes Walker is also the fifth player ever with at least 175 yards from scrimmage in each of his first two games with a season, joining Jim Brown (1963), O.J. Simpson (1975), Paul Hofer (1980), and Billy Sims (1980).
This is Walker’s first career player of the month award.
Walker and the Chiefs will be in Las Vegas this weekend to play the division-rival Raiders.
Zach Charbonnet designated to return to practice
One of Seattle's key offensive players is getting back on the practice field.
Running back Zach Charbonnet has been designated to return to practice, the Seahawks announced on Thursday.
Charbonnet opened the season on the physically unable to perform list after he suffered a torn ACL during the divisional round victory over the 49ers in January.
Because he was on the PUP list, Charbonnet is not eligible to return to play until Week 5. But his 21-day practice window is now open, which means he can participate in football activities during that time before the team must activate him to the 53-man roster.
In 16 games last season, Charbonnet rushed for 730 yards with 12 touchdowns and caught 20 passes for 144 yards.
After hosting the Chargers in Week 4, the Seahawks will host the 49ers for the first of two divisional matchups between the clubs in Week 5.
