Walker did not suffer an aggravation of his ankle injury and was getting a rest day Saturday, Corbin K. Smith of SI.com reports.

Walker didn't participate in practice Friday or Saturday, but coach Mike Macdonald said that he was just getting some extra rest for a lingering foot injury. The Seahawks have been cautious handling the issue throughout the offseason, but Walker didn't land on the PUP or non-football injury list to begin camp, and the start of his season doesn't appear to be in jeopardy for him.

Stafford (back) is unlikely to participate in joint practices with the Cowboys next week, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.

The Rams have taken a cautious approach with Stafford and reiterated that they have a plan in mind that will have their quarterback on the field for Week 1 against the Texans. That said, he doesn't appear likely to see the field much, if at all, in the early portions of August. Jimmy Garoppolo will see the majority of first-team reps in the meantime.

Ferguson was unable to practice Saturday due to a groin strain, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.

Coach Sean McVay downplayed the severity of the injury but also admitted that Ferguson has no timeline to return. Ferguson had gotten strong reviews in camp for his ability to find soft spots in zone coverage while being a reliable target, but this injury will slow his momentum for the time being.

Walker (undisclosed) did not practice Saturday, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.

There wasn't much information available regarding the reason for Walker's absence, but he's now missed practice for consecutive days. It is worth noting that Walker entered camp with an ankle injury, though it's unclear if this is an aggravation of the same issue.

Kraft was unable to practice Saturday due to a groin injury, Bill Huber of SI.com reports.

Kraft had gotten through training camp with a clean bill of health prior to this injury, and there had been some buzz about him becoming a more impactful member of the Packers' offense this season. There's no indication that this injury will threaten his status to begin the campaign, but little is known at this point.

Wicks (calf) was unable to practice Saturday, Bill Huber of SI.com reports.

Wicks was bothered by a calf injury early in camp and has been on and off the practice field. After missing sessions early in the week, he was able to partially practice both Thursday and Friday. It's unclear if Wicks' lack of participation Saturday is the sign of a setback or is just maintenance.

Hockenson suffered an apparent groin injury during practice Saturday and was walking with a noticeable limp afterward, Andrew Krammer of the Minnesota Star Tribune reports.

Hockenson was evaluated and tried to work through the injury on the field, but he was unable to do so. He told reporters after practice that he would be alright, but he may be in line to miss additional practice time.

Harris (eye) was in a helmet and a weighted vest while walking around the practice field Saturday,Kris Rhim of ESPN.com reports.

Harris has been spotted on the field in just shorts and a t-shirt prior to Saturday as he recovers from an eye injury. His unconventional participation Saturday doesn't signal that he's particularly close to a return from the active/non-football injury list, but it still marks progress in his recovery.

Coleman left practice with a lower-body injury Saturday, Josh Taylor of A to Z sports reports.

Coleman was working at left guard prior to getting hurt. Andrew Wylie came in to replace him, and it's currently unclear if Coleman will be required to miss an extended period of time.

Emmanwori is practicing at safety, nickel corner and outside linebacker, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.

Head coach Mike Macdonald compared Emmanwori to Ravens safety Kyle Hamilton and Seahawks legend Kam Chancellor on draft night, and the drumbeat continues in training camp with the 220-pound safety showing an ability to line up all across the formation, even taking a few snaps at inside linebacker. The rookie second-round pick is living up to the hype with multiple interceptions and disruptive plays in the backfield during team drills this week. If it translates to real games, this Seahawks defense could be a force this season with a secondary that already features Devon Witherspoon and Riq Woolen in addition to a bevy of productive pass rushers. Our first chance to see him in live action is Thursday's preseason game versus the Raiders.
