News

  • Not in line to return Sunday

    Coach Pete Carroll said Wednesday that Penny (calf) isn't expected to play Sunday at Minnesota, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Carroll included a caveat during Wednesday's media session, stating an "unexpected turn" in Penny's health could allow him to suit up this weekend. It'll be interesting to see if Penny gets on the practice field to kick off Week 3 prep, which will be revealed later Wednesday.

  • Not suiting up Week 2

    Penny (calf) is listed as inactive Sunday versus the Titans.

    Analysis: After injuring his calf Week 1 in Indianapolis, Penny is missing the first game of what's expected to be a multi-week absence. In Penny's stead, the Seahawks will trust in Alex Collins, DeeJay Dallas and Travis Homer to handle reserve RB reps behind starter Chris Carson.

  • Unlikely to play Sunday

    Penny (calf) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Titans, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

    Analysis: Since Penny hurt his calf Week 1 at Indianapolis, the injury has transformed from minor to one that's expected to sideline him for a few weeks. With a doubtful designation for Sunday, he's almost certainly going to be listed among the Seattle's inactives, which would give Alex Collins, DeeJay Dallas and Travis Homer a chance to make an impact in the ground game behind starter Chris Carson.

  • Remains out at practice

    Penny (calf) was a non-participant at Thursday's practice, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Since injuring his left calf in the season opener, Penny has been described as first dealing with a minor issue, then a player expected to miss multiple weeks. Coach Pete Carroll clarified the situation somewhat Monday, telling Dugar that Penny was unlikely to play Week 2 against the Titans. With back-to-back absences in practice so far this week, Penny seems to be trending that way, but the Seahawks may not provide clarity until the release of Friday's injury report.

  • Not practicing, as expected

    Penny (calf) won't practice Wednesday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

    Analysis: The lack of activity comes as no surprise, with Penny already considered unlikely to play Week 2 against Tennessee. He aggravated a left calf injury in Sunday's win over the Colts, leaving DeeJay Dallas and Travis Homer as the backup running backs, though Alex Collins could also be active this week.

  • Unlikely to play Week 2

    Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said Monday that Penny (calf) is trending toward sitting out Sunday's game against the Titans, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Ultimately, the severity of Penny's strained calf will determine when he's next able to suit up, but the Seahawks could allow him to take his time and place him on injured reserve to free up a roster spot. If Penny is sidelined Week 2, the trio of Alex Collins, Travis Homer and DeeJay Dallas will be the backups to starting running back Chris Carson.

  • Multi-week absence upcoming

    Penny (calf) is expected to miss multiple weeks, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: So much for the injury being minor. The oft-injured Penny once again will be sidelined, and a stint on short-term IR hasn't been ruled out. Seattle has no shortage of options vying for playing time behind Chris Carson in Penny's absence, with Alex Collins, Travis Homer and DeeJay Dallas all on hand in the backfield.

  • Injury considered minor

    Penny's calf injury is believed to be minor, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Penny aggravated a calf injury during Sunday's season opener against the Colts, but the issue isn't believed to be a significant concern. The 25-year-old recorded two carries for eight yards prior to his departure Sunday. It's not yet clear whether he'll be available for Sunday's Week 2 matchup against Tennessee.

  • Hurts calf Sunday

    Penny injured his left calf during Sunday's game at Indianapolis.

    Analysis: Penny tended to a calf injury during Week 1 prep, logging limited showings Wednesday and Thursday before capping it with a full practice. But the injury resurfaced Sunday, which has been the story of his three-plus years in the league. Behind clear top back Chris Carson, the Seahawks have Travis Homer and DeeJay Dallas at the ready for backfield reps.

  • Cleared to face Colts

    Penny (calf) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game at Indianapolis, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

    Analysis: The Seahawks enter Sunday with five healthy running backs, though at least one presumably will be placed on the inactive list. Chris Carson figures to get the start and most of the carries, but Penny could be the second man up, at least for early downs. The other options are Alex Collins, Travis Homer and DeeJay Dallas.

  • Limited by calf injury

    Penny was a limited practice participant Wednesday due to a calf injury, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

    Analysis: Penny tended to a thigh issue in training camp, only to make two appearances during the preseason slate, combining for 12 carries for 32 yards and two receptions (on three targets) for 11 yards. The production wasn't anything to write home about, and he's now dealing with another soft-tissue injury. With Chris Carson at the head of Seattle's backfield, Penny would vie with Alex Collins and perhaps Travis Homer for change-of-pace touches Week 1 at Indianapolis, assuming he's able to suit up.

  • Hangs onto roster spot

    Penny was one of five running backs to make the Seahawks' 53-man roster released Tuesday, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Penny struggled during the preseason, but the exhibition snaps were more about him getting back into the swing of things after having logged just 11 carries since tearing his ACL in 2019. However, Penny's underwhelming performance allowed Alex Collins to sneak into the No. 2 running back conversation. For fantasy managers, Penny isn't a surefire insurance policy to Chris Carson, though he may have the most upside.

  • Records 29 total yards in win

    Penny rushed seven times for 24 yards and brought in one of two targets for five yards in the Seahawks' 27-0 preseason win over the Chargers on Saturday night.

    Analysis: Penny was able to get on the field for the final two preseason games and was more productive on the ground than during his five-carry, eight-yard performance last Saturday against the Broncos. The 2018 first-round pick did see backfield mate Alex Collins turn in an impressive performance in which he led the Seahawks in rushing yards (37), receptions (seven) and receiving yards (37) while also contributing a rushing score, however, so it remains to be seen if that will shake up the depth chart…read more

  • Struggles in preseason debut

    Penny (thigh) carried five times for eight yards and caught his lone target for six yards in Saturday's 30-3 preseason loss to the Broncos.

    Analysis: After tearing his ACL in Week 14 of the 2019 season, Penny came back last year and logged just 11 carries for 34 yards over three games. The Seahawks didn't pick up his fifth-year option, so he's battling for placement on the depth chart. This was a tough start to Penny's comeback, though we shouldn't read into this exhibition performance too much. The Broncos' starting defensive line was on the field against the Seahawks' backup offensive line. Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic believes…read more

  • May play Saturday

    Coach Pete Carroll hopes Penny (thigh) is able to suit up and play during Saturday's preseason game against the Broncos, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.

    Analysis: Due to draft pedigree alone, the 2018 first-round pick should be the favorite to back up starter Chris Carson, but Penny has appeared in just three regular-season games since tearing his ACL in December 2019. He underwent a cleanup procedure on his knee in the offseason and has missed more than a week of practice recently with a thigh concern. Penny will need to get on the field soon to play Saturday, but even if he doesn't he'll have one more exhibition game Aug. 28 versus the Chargers to…read more

  • Could practice next week

    Coach Pete Carroll said Penny (thigh) may return to practice next week, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports. "Next week should be a really big week for him," Carroll noted. "He's really close."

    Analysis: Penny has missed practice since suffering what Carroll considered a "minor" thigh injury Sunday. Thus, Penny will sit out Saturday's preseason game in Las Vegas, with an aim to get back on the field shortly thereafter. Behind Chris Carson, Penny's pedigree as a 2018 first-rounder likely gives him the best shot for touches in the Seahawks backfield when healthy. But health has been the key issue for Penny in his career, as he's made just three appearances since tearing his ACL in December 2019.

  • Still in recovery mode

    Coach Pete Carroll said, "we'll see," regarding Penny (thigh) rejoining his healthy teammates this week, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.

    Analysis: Penny initially was sidelined Sunday due to what was considered a "minor" thigh injury, which has sidelined him in the interim. Based off Carroll's own words, Penny likely doesn't have a great chance to play in Saturday's preseason opener at Las Vegas. Fortunately, if he's able to return to the field sooner than later, Penny will have two more exhibitions in which to be a part of the Seahawks backfield. On a sour note, though, his continued bouts with health concerns make him less than…read more

  • Held out with minor issue

    Penny was held out of practice Sunday due to a "minor" injury, per coach Pete Carroll, Curtis Crabtree of Sports Radio KJR reports.

    Analysis: Carroll clarified the injury as being to Penny's thigh, per John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site. Penny was joined on the sidelines by Robert Nkemdiche and D.J. Reed, but Carroll didn't seem particularly concerned about their injuries. If his thigh issue indeed is minor, look for Penny to put any doubts about his health to rest by dressing for Seattle's Aug. 14 preseason opener in Las Vegas.

  • Feeling good in camp

    Penny indicated Thursday that he's down to 223 pounds after playing at around 234 pounds during his time at San Diego State, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports. "I feel fast. I feel amazing," said Penny

    Analysis: Penny hasn't lived up to his first-round billing in the 2018 NFL Draft thus far and will likely have to settle for a supporting role behind Chris Carson, but he did post reasonably good per-carry averages in his first two seasons at 4.9 and 5.7. He's in the fourth year of his deal with Seattle and it will be a contract year following the team's decision to decline his fifth-year option. It appears he's healthy and would be the likely candidate to step into the lead role should Carson falter or…read more

  • Full participant to open camp

    Penny (knee) was a full participant during the first practice of training camp Wednesday, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.

    Analysis: The 25-year-old avoided the PUP list to open camp and is apparently fully healthy after undergoing a cleanup procedure during the offseason that sidelined him for June minicamp. It's a make-or-break year for Penny, who was limited to three games in 2020 and is entering the final year of his rookie deal. He's poised to begin the season as Seattle's No. 2 tailback behind starter Chris Carson.

  • Avoids PUP list

    Penny (knee) isn't on the PUP list to begin training camp, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Even if he's a limited participant initially, Penny's ability to avoid the PUP list is an encouraging sign after he was held out of June minicamp. He had a cleanup procedure earlier this offseason on his left knee, the same one in which he suffered an ACL tear in December 2019. Despite playing just three games in his first season back from the injury, Penny now has a shot to win the second spot on the depth chart, as Seattle's other options behind starter Chris Carson are DeeJay Dallas, Travis…read more

  • Recovering from cleanup procedure

    Penny isn't participating at mandatory minicamp this week after undergoing a cleanup procedure on his knee earlier in the offseason, Joe Fann of NBC Sports Northwest reports.

    Analysis: Penny was limited to three games in 2020 while recovering from surgery to repair a torn ACL in late 2019, and the cleanup procedure was on the same knee. Coach Pete Carroll expects the 25-year-old to be ready for training camp at the end of July, but it's a worrying sign for a tailback that's struggled to stay healthy over the past couple years.

  • Fifth-year option declined

    The Seahawks did not pick up the fifth-year option on Penny's rookie contract Monday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Penny has failed to live up to expectations since being selected in the first round of the 2018 Draft, and he was limited to just three appearances last season while recovering from a torn ACL. He figures to back up Chris Carson this season, and perhaps a bounce-back campaign from the San Diego State product will convince the Seahawks to retain him in the future, albeit at a lower price tag than Penny's fifth-year option would have entailed.

  • Back to full health

    Penny (knee) is healthy and ready for the 2021 season, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

    Analysis: Penny made a long-awaited return from an ACL tear Week 15 last season, but he played just three games before getting hurt again. In that three-game stretch, he rushed 11 times for 34 yards. Now that he's healthy again, Penny will have a full offseason to train ahead of the 2021 campaign. Chris Carson, who signed a two-year, $10.43 million contract with the Seahawks in March, is the likely frontrunner for the top job. However, even Carson admitted that Seattle's backfield will likely shape up as…read more

  • Not playing Saturday

    Penny (knee) is inactive for Saturday's contest against the Rams.

    Analysis: When the Seahawks released their final injury report of the week Thursday, Penny didn't have a designation, despite experiencing a downgrade in activity from full to limited. The team tacked on a questionable designation Friday, while at the same time elevating Alex Collins from the practice squad. With Penny and DeeJay Dallas (coach's decision) sidelined for the wild-card round, Seattle's backfield will be headed by Chris Carson, with Carlos Hyde and Collins in reserve.

  • Now questionable for Saturday

    The Seahawks added Penny (knee) to the injury report Friday, listing him as questionable for Saturday's wild-card game against the Rams.

    Analysis: Prior to Friday, Penny made his lone appearance on the Seahawks' practice report Thursday as a limited participant. Still, he didn't receive a designation at that time, so his change in status may impact the team's running back rotation this weekend. Behind Chris Carson, Carlos Hyde and DeeJay Dallas are the other healthy options, while Alex Collins is a candidate to be elevated from the practice squad to the active roster if Penny is unable to play Saturday.

  • Musters up 19 yards

    Penny rushed six times for 19 yards in Sunday's 26-23 win over the 49ers.

    Analysis: Penny took on a larger role in his third game back from a torn ACL because Carlos Hyde (illness) didn't make the trip to San Francisco. The San Diego State product logged 28 of 65 offensive snaps, finishing just behind Chris Carson's 30 snaps but comfortably ahead of Alex Collins' 11 snaps. Carson drew more work while on the field, as he totaled 83 yards on 13 touches, and Collins was more efficient than Penny with 29 yards and a touchdown on five carries.

  • Bumps to No. 2 role

    Penny (knee) is slated to work as Seattle's No. 2 running back in Sunday's game against the 49ers with Carlos Hyde (illness) ruled out, Brady Henderson of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Penny's reps have been managed since he returned from a torn ACL, as he logged just 10 snaps and five carries over two games. The third-year running back could have an opportunity to step up in Week 17, and the coaching staff has hinted that Penny's time is coming. Earlier in the week, Seahawks offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer stated that Penny was on the verge of "a breakout moment." Chris Carson is still the clear lead back, but Penny is expected to see a decent increase in reps…read more

  • Clear of injury for Week 17

    Penny (knee) does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the 49ers, Curtis Crabtree of Sports Radio 950 KJR Seattle reports.

    Analysis: Penny made a late-week appearance on the injury report by posting a limited session Thursday. This constituted a notable development given that Penny tore his ACL last December and went without a game appearance until Week 15 of this season. The 24-year-old has garnered five rush attempts for 15 yards in his two 2020 appearances, and it appears he's in line for a Week 17 appearance as well given Seattle's latest injury update.

    Penny (knee) was a limited participant at Thursday's practice, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

    Analysis: Penny required more than a year of rehab after tearing his ACL along with other knee ligaments last December, but he's played in each of the last two games, logging 10 total snaps on offense. It's a bit concerning that he's back on the injury report, especially because he wasn't listed Wednesday, but it's possible that it's just for maintenance purposes. Penny's injury status should be more clear on Friday's practice report. His availability for the season finale against the 49ers could be more…read more

  • Plays just four snaps

    Penny rushed three times for nine yards in Sunday's 20-9 win over the Rams.

    Analysis: Penny played just four of 63 snaps on offense, finishing well behind Chris Carson (40) and Carlos Hyde (20). He certainly showed some shiftiness in his short stint on the field, and it'll be interesting to see if the Seahawks ramp up his playing time in next week's game against the 49ers.

  • Eases into action Sunday

    Penny rushed twice for six yards in Sunday's 20-15 win over Washington.

    Analysis: After more than a year of recovery from a torn ACL, Penny made his return to the field Sunday and got his feet wet with just six snaps. The Seahawks likely will see how his body responds to the contact before ramping up his workload. The 2018 first-round pick isn't expected to take on major responsibility this year, but perhaps he can usurp Carlos Hyde as Seattle's No. 2 back by the start of the playoffs. He'll look to build on his recent progress next week against the Rams.

  • Comes off PUP list

    The Seahawks activated Penny (knee) from the PUP list Saturday, Curtis Crabtree of Sports Radio 950 KJR Seattle reports.

    Analysis: Coach Pete Carroll said earlier this week that Penny, who returned to practice Wednesday for the first time since tearing his ACL last season, is expected to suit up for Sunday's home game against Washington. The 2018 first-round pick hasn't appeared in NFL action in over a year, and he's only had the benefit of a few days of practice, so the Seahawks could opt to ease him back into a rotation with Carlos Hyde and Chris Carson.

    Coach Pete Carroll said Monday that Penny (knee) is practicing with the intent of playing Sunday against Washington, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

    Analysis: Penny returned to practice last Wednesday, opening his 21-day window to be activated from the PUP list. The 2018 first-round pick immediately drew praise from the organization's leaders; Russell Wilson called him "electric," and Carroll said he "exceeded expectations with his movement and his quickness," according to Curtis Crabtree of Sports Radio 950 KJR Seattle.

    Analysis: The Seahawks opened Penny's 21-day window to be activated from the PUP list Wednesday, and he's thoroughly impressed everyone in the organization so far. On Thursday, Russell Wilson noted Penny has "been electric" and is "physical, quick, catches the ball well, he picks up his protections," per Brady Henderson of ESPN.com.

    Penny (knee) returned to practice Wednesday for the first time since tearing his ACL last season, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

    Analysis: Penny has been on the PUP list all season, but his return to practice will officially open a 21-day window for the team to add the 2018 first-round pick back to the 53-man roster. Given that Penny is a full year removed from the ACL tear, he could be ready to jump right back into game action if the coaching and medical staffs are satisfied with how he looks in practice this week. If cleared to play, Penny would likely jostle with Carlos Hyde for No. 2 duties behind starting running back Chris…read more

  • Practicing next week

    Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said Penny (knee) is slated to join the team for practice next week, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.

    Analysis: Penny has been sidelined for a full year after tearing the ACL in his left knee, but the third-year running back finally is ready to take a major step forward in his recovery by getting back on the practice field. Once he takes part in his first practice, Penny will initiate a 21-day window for the Seahawks to evaluate him for a return to the 53-man roster. Given his lengthy layoff, Penny will likely need more than one week of practice time to prepare himself for game action, so don't expect…read more

  • Inching closer to return

    Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said Wednesday that Penny (knee) should return to practice later this week or early next week, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Penny is nearing the finish line in his recovery from the torn ACL that he suffered in Week 14 of the 2019 season. Once he's cleared to take the practice field, the 24-year-old running back may need some time to fully ramp up, as he sustained major knee damage beyond just the ACL tear. Once he's back to 100 percent, Penny will likely challenge Carlos Hyde (toe) for the No. 2 role behind top back Chris Carson (foot).

  • Could practice next week

    Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said Tuesday that he's hoping Penny (knee) will be ready to practice with the team next week, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.

    Analysis: Penny has been sidelined all season while rehabbing from the torn ACL he suffered Week 14 of 2019, but he looks to finally be nearing the finish line in his recovery. Because of his lengthy layoff, Penny will likely require several practices to get up to full speed, so he may still be multiple weeks away from making his way back to the 53-man roster. If he does get activated at some point, the Seahawks probably wouldn't ask him to take on more than a handful of touches per game behind lead back…read more

  • Still a few weeks away

    Coach Pete Carroll said Thursday that Penny (knee) is "a few weeks away" from retaking the field, Curtis Crabtree of Sports Radio 950 KJR Seattle reports.

    Analysis: Penny has spent the entire 2020 campaign on the PUP list and still hasn't practiced, but it appears that the Seahawks still expect him to return at some point this season. However, just as the PUP list restricts players from practicing for the first six weeks of the season, it is also required that players must either then resume practicing, shift to IR or be released after an additional five weeks elapse, so Seattle will need to make a decision on Penny sooner rather than later.

  • Still not practicing

    Coach Pete Carroll said Monday that Penny (knee) is making good progress but hasn't returned to practice, Curtis Crabtree of Sports Radio 950 KJR Seattle reports. "It's just a matter of when they feel and he feels ready to go out there and bang those cuts," Carroll said.

    Analysis: Carroll has been ambivalent about Penny's condition all season, consistently praising the running back's recovery but falling short of providing a clear timeline to return. Time is running out, though, as Penny will need to return to practice by Week 11. Otherwise, he'll be required to stay on the PUP list for the rest of the season.

  • Not likely for Week 8 return

    Coach Pete Carroll said Monday that Penny (knee) will "probably not" return Week 8 against the 49ers, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.

    Analysis: Carroll appears committed to not rushing Penny back from the ACL tear he sustained Week 14 last season, even with Chris Carson set to undergo an MRI on what's been called a mid-foot sprain. The decision to allow Penny extended time to rehab likely stems in part due to Carroll's confidence in No. 2 running back Carlos Hyde, in addition to the fact that Penny's surgery uncovered additional damage in his knee. An official timetable for the 2018 first-round pick's return still remains undisclosed.

  • No timeline yet for return

    Coach Pete Carroll said Monday that there's "no set ETA" for Penny (knee) to return to the Seahawks' active roster, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.

    Analysis: Two weeks removed from saying Penny was "getting really close" but wouldn't be rushed back, Carroll had another non-update on Penny's recovery from the torn left ACL he suffered Week 14 of last season. The prolonged rehab likely stems from the additional damage found in the knee during surgery, but there's no sense yet when the Seahawks will open his window to return from the reserve/PUP list. In the meantime, Chris Carson will be relied upon as the team's No. 1 back, with Carlos Hyde…read more

  • Won't be rushed back

    Coach Pete Carroll said Monday that Penny (knee) is close to returning but won't be rushed back into the lineup, Curtis Crabtree of Sports Radio 950 KJR Seattle reports.

    Analysis: Penny tore his ACL last year Week 14 and wasn't 100 percent to begin the 2020 season, so he was placed on the PUP list to ensure a full recovery. Carroll has consistently praised Penny's progress, and the 2018 first-rounder will be eligible to return to the lineup in Week 7's matchup against the 49ers. However, Carroll rightly sees no reason to rush him back because Chris Carson is healthy and handling lead back duties admirably. These plans are subject to change if Carson gets hurt, but…read more

  • 'Ahead of schedule' in recovery

    Coach Pete Carroll called Penny "ahead of schedule" in his recovery from a torn ACL, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.

    Analysis: Penny tore up his left knee Week 14 of last season, and his subsequent surgery revealed additional damage on top of the ACL tear. It wasn't a surprise by any means that he started this season on the reserve/PUP list, but Carroll seems to believe Penny will be able to practice not long after he's first eligible to do so in mid-to-late October. In the season opener, no Seahawks running back earned more than Chris Carson's 45 percent share of the snaps on offense, which was followed by Carlos Hyde…read more

  • Starts season on PUP list

    The Seahawks placed Penny (knee) on the reserve/PUP list Saturday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

    Analysis: This move was expected all along, as Penny's December knee injury revealed damage beyond just a torn ACL. The Seahawks can afford to keep him on the sidelines until he's fully healthy as well since they signed Carlos Hyde (undisclosed) and drafted DeeJay Dallas this offseason. They also have second-year back Travis Homer on the roster. Penny can be activated off the PUP list and begin practicing after Week 6. At that point, he could cut into Chris Carson's workload if he's fully healthy, but…read more

    Analysis: The transaction came shortly after coach Pete Carroll said Penny would report to training camp Friday and go through COVID-19 intake testing, per Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune. While Penny's upcoming camp attendance is a positive sign, Carroll didn't elaborate on where exactly the running back stands in his recovery from reconstructive left knee surgery he required in December.

    Penny (knee) could open the 2020 season on the PUP list, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.

    Analysis: The Seahawks have consistently been optimistic about Chris Carson's recovery from a hip fracture, while the tone has been far more cautious when discussing Penny's rehab from ACL surgery. GM John Schneider cautioned that the timeline could be tricky, noting that the 2018 first-round pick suffered his major injury late in the season (Dec. 8 to be exact). Reports from January suggested the damage in Penny's left knee went beyond an ACL tear, but he did show visible progress in March when he…read more

    Penny (knee) is a candidate to begin training camp on the Seahawks' preseason PUP list, Curtis Crabtree of Sports Radio 950 KJR Seattle reports.

    Analysis: That's not surprising considering Penny tore his ACL in Week 14 of the 2019 season and subsequently had surgery later in December. Given the timing of his injury, coupled with reports that the running back's knee woes went beyond his ACL tear, Penny's status for Seattle's season opener remains murky. On the plus side with regard to the team's Week 1 backfield composition, Chris Carson (hip) is on track to be ready for the start of the coming campaign, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Penny tore up his knee Week 14 and had surgery later in December. Coach Pete Carroll said the injury involved damage beyond an ACL tear, but Carroll also mentioned in early January that the Seahawks were pleased with Penny's early progress. The 24-year-old faces a challenge to make it back on the field for the early part of the 2020 campaign, while backfield mate Chris Carson is expected to recover from a hip fracture without needing surgery, potentially returning to practice as soon as May or…read more

  • Has additional damage beyond ACL

    Penny's knee injury involves more damage than just a torn ACL, Gregg Bell of the Tacoma News Tribune reports. "There were some other things that they had to clean up and all that," said Seahawks coach Pete Carroll. "It was more than just a simple ACL surgery."

    Analysis: An ACL tear typically requires 9-to-12 months for recovery/rehab, and additional damage to the knee will make it even more of a challenge for Penny to be ready by Week 1 of 2020. The Seahawks do anticipate a return to full strength eventually, with the 2018 first-round pick presumably hoping to contribute to the team at some point during his third pro season. Meanwhile, fellow running back Chris Carson is expected to avoid surgery for his season-ending hip injury, though he too faces an…read more

  • Goes to IR as expected

    Penny (knee) was placed on injured reserve Saturday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official sitereports.

    Analysis: This was a mere formality, as Penny is slated to have surgery to repair his torn ACL, which he suffered last Sunday against the Rams. The 2018 first-round pick does not have a recovery timetable set as of yet, but it's possible the extensive knee injury could ultimately force Penny to miss portions of the 2020 season as well, though more information regarding the expected timeline won't occur until some time after the initial surgery.

  • Preparing for surgery

    Coach Pete Carroll said Wednesday that Penny will undergo surgery to repair a torn ACL once the swelling in his left knee subsides, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.

    Analysis: Carroll also indicated that measures to address additional damage to Penny's knee could be taken after his ACL is repaired, according to Curtis Crabtree of Sports Radio 950 KJR Seattle. The 2018 first-round pick is expected to be sidelined until at least training camp, leaving his availability for the start of the 2020 season on shaky ground. Penny's absence for at least the final three regular-season contests of 2019 in addition to any playoff games that follow positions Chris Carson as the…read more

With the promising back unavailable down the stretch, Chris Carson is slated to head the Seattle ground game going forward, with C.J.

    Penny (knee) has been ruled out for the rest of the 2019 season, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.

    Analysis: Penny suffered a knee injury on the first drive of Sunday's 28-12 loss to the Rams, and additional testing revealed he's dealing with an ACL sprain. The second-year running back will be placed on IR soon, and he'll finish the season with 65 rushes for 370 yards (5.7 YPC) and three touchdowns while adding eight receptions for 83 yards and a score. It's unsettled whether Penny's injury will affect his status for the 2020 season. Chris Carson is set to be the bell cow moving forward, and C.J.…read more

    Coach Pete Carroll described Penny's injury as a significant ACL sprain in his post-game interview after Sunday's loss to the Rams, Aaron J. Fentress of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: While Penny will likely require additional tests to determine just how significant this injury is, it sounds like he's staring at a multi-week absence. Chris Carson should recapture most of the touches vacated by Penny's absence, with C.J. Prosise and Travis Homer providing backfield depth.

    Penny had to go to the locker room with an undisclosed injury in the first quarter of Sunday's game against the Rams, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.

He made a 16-yard catch before departing, but it looked like he got hurt at the end of the play, and he made his way to the locker room soon after getting checked out in the blue medical tent. This ill-timed injury comes just as the second-year running back had mustered the best two-week stretch of his career in the preceding games.

    Penny rushed 15 times for 74 yards and a touchdown and caught four of five targets for 33 yards and a score in Monday's 37-30 win over the Vikings.

    Analysis: Both of Seattle's primary running backs saw action on the first drive and looked explosive in the process, and Chris Carson finished the contest with 109 yards from scrimmage and a score of his own. While Carson garnered a majority of the rushes (23), he averaged 4.4 yards per carry compared to Penny's 4.9. Furthermore, Penny showcased intriguing pass-catching prowess with his best effort through the air since his NFL debut, when he hauled in four passes for 35 yards. While most game scripts…read more

    Penny may be in line for more consistent work moving forward, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports. "We are going to see if we can get more out of [Penny]," coach Pete Carroll said Wednesday.

    Analysis: Penny and starter Chris Carson split the offensive snaps almost down the middle during Sunday's 17-9 win at Philadelphia, with the former getting 30 to the latter's 31 (of 61 total). Taking advantage of a career-high share of those plays, Penny compiled 14 carries for 129 yards and one touchdown, while Carson gained 57 yards from scrimmage on his 12 touches and fumbled for a seventh time this season.

    Penny rushed 14 times for 129 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 17-9 win over the Eagles.

His day was highlighted by breaking free for a career-best 58-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter, as he showcased the explosiveness that enticed the Seahawks to select him in the first round of the 2018 NFL Draft.

    Penny rushed twice for two yards and lost a fumble in Monday's 27-24 win over the 49ers.

    Analysis: It took until the first drive of the second half for Penny to log an offensive snap, and he almost immediately made the Seahawks' coaching staff regret its decision by fumbling at midfield. The second-year pro didn't see the field after that whiff. Chris Carson also fumbled the football (the Seahawks recovered), but it was clear he had a longer leash than Penny by recording 28 touches. Penny will look to get back into the coaches' good graces in the team's next game Nov. 24 against the Eagles.

    Penny rushed four times for 12 yards in Sunday's 40-34 overtime win against the Buccaneers.

    Analysis: Penny impressed last week as he managed 55 yards on just eight carries, but his role dried up in this outing. Despite Chris Carson fumbling twice, Penny barely got on the field, as he logged 11 of a possible 75 offensive snaps. Carson's fumbles are a concern, but he racked up 105 yards on 16 carries while catching both targets for 28 yards. His production seems to cancel out the costly turnovers at this point, but Penny remains a valuable handcuff in case Carson is injured.
