The Seahawks placed Holani on the practice squad injured list Tuesday with an ankle injury, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.
Elevated from the practice squad for the Seahawks' Week 2 win over the Patriots, Holani played six snaps -- all on special teams -- in what was his NFL debut. However, Holani sustained an ankle injury in that contest, which was likely why he wasn't elevated ahead of the Week 3 win over the Dolphins, even though top back Kenneth Walker (oblique) missed a second straight contest. As a result of landing on the practice squad/injured list, Holani won't be eligible to play in any of the Seahawks' next four games.

The Seahawks could recall Holani from their practice squad with Kenneth Walker (oblique) listed as doubtful for Sunday's matchup with the Patriots, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.
It appears increasingly likely that Walker will miss Seattle's Week 2 affair, and Holani is expected to be elevated to the team's active roster to ensure depth at running back. The Boise State product would likely serve as the Seahawks' No. 3 RB behind both Zach Charbonnet and Kenny McIntosh if he's elevated before Sunday's game.
