Seahawks running back Rashaad Penny left the Week 14 contest against the Rams in the first quarter with a knee injury and was unable to return to the game.
Following Seattle’s 28-12 loss to Los Angeles, coach Pete Carroll confirmed Penny had suffered a sprained ACL.
“He got an ACL sprain,” Caroll said in his postgame press conference. “We don’t know how serious it is but it’s significant.”
Penny finished the night with just one reception for 16 yards.
Although backup running back C.J. Prosise was active for one of his few games this season, he saw very little action Sunday night. Prosise had just one carry for two yards.
Chris Carson, Seattle’s starter, still carried the bulk of the load with Penny out, logging 15 touches for 76 yards. Quarterback Russell Wilson was the team’s second-leading rusher on the night.
Penny will undoubtedly undergo further testing on his knee and Carroll should have updated injury information by his Monday afternoon press conference.
