One of the NFL's most intriguing backfield tandems is sidelined. Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll told reporters Sunday that second-year running back Kenneth Walker III and rookie Zach Charbonnet are both unavailable to practice. Walker is dealing with a lingering groin injury that has kept him out of multiple practices since the start of training camp last week. Charbonnet is out indefinitely with a shoulder injury. The prognosis for both is unclear. Walker was one of the NFL's best rookies last season after the Seahawks selected him in the second round of the 2022 draft. He led the team in rushing with 1,050 yards and nine touchdowns on 4.6 yards per carry. He also posted 165 yards on 27 receptions. Despite Walker's success, the Seahawks invested another second-round draft pick this year to select Charbonnet out of UCLA. A straight-ahead runner who tallied 1,359 yards and 14 touchdowns on seven yards per carry as a senior, Charbonnet projects to see significant action as part of a 1-2 tandem with Walker who could specialize in third-down situations. Charbonnet was projected to see plenty of action in training camp to prepare for his rookie season. When he returns to the field is unclear. Carroll said Sunday that he was scheduled to meet with team doctors for further evaluation.

Daniel Weinman won the World Series of Poker's main event world championship on Monday in Las Vegas, earning $12.1 million along the way. Playing in the tournament for a 16th year, Weinman was tops in a deep pool of 10,043 players vying for $93.39 million. His victory came after just 164 hands at the final table. "I was honestly on the fence about even coming back and playing this tournament," the 35-year-old Atlanta native told reporters afterward. Weinman's final table featured Jan-Peter Jachtmann, who landed in fourth place and took home $3 million, as well as Toby Lewis, who finished seventh and secured $1.42 million. According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, the main event's entry pool far outpaced the previous record of 8,773 set in 2006. "I've always kind of felt that poker was kind of going in a dying direction, but to see the numbers at the World Series this year has been incredible," Weinman said. "And to win this main event, it doesn't feel real. I mean, [there's] so much luck in a poker tournament. I thought I played very well." Steven Jones finished second, securing $6.5 million. And Adam Walton settled for third and a $4 million prize.
