A pair of B1G stars listed as questionable are expected to be ready to go for the Seattle Seahawks on Christmas Eve. That is good news for a team heading on the road to face the Kansas City Chiefs in Arrowhead Stadium.
Head coach Pete Carroll told reporters Friday that RB Kenneth Walker III and TE Noah Fant are expected to be available for the Seahawks Saturday. Walker missed practice time during the week due to an ankle injury.

Walker started his rookie season as the backup RB but stepped into a starting role when Rashaad Penny was injured. He has not disappointed, starting 8 games and leading the Seahawks with 696 rushing yards and 9 touchdowns in 2022.
Fant has also been solid and is currently third on the Seahawks in receiving yards (414) while adding 3 touchdowns. He is the top TE for Seattle in his first season with the franchise after getting traded away by the Denver Broncos.
We’ll see if the B1G performers can make an impact on Christmas Eve. Kickoff against the Chiefs is set for 1 pm ET on FOX.
