The Seattle Seahawks have waited just over a year for his services, but running back Rashaad Penny has finally been activated to the 53-man roster.
Penny has spent all of 2020 on the Physically Unable to Perform list recovering from his torn ACL. He will make his season debut in Washington this Sunday.
“He looks terrific,” offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer said Thursday. “He’s looking fast, he’s looking explosive, moving really well, running routes really well. I think he looks as good as you could expect him to. I hadn’t seen him for a while. He’s been working when he came out, started last week, doing different things.
“This week, I think he’s getting close to being ready to go.”
Now that he’s been officially activated, Penny should see some snaps on Sunday.
The Seahawks also activated defensive end Damontre Moore on Saturday. To make room for both, running back Travis Homer (knee) and guard/tackle Jamarco Jones (groin) were placed on injured reserve.
