The Seattle Seahawks have seen injuries to nearly every single running back on the roster this season. Carlos Hyde just resumed play after a hamstring injury, Chris Carson is set to return from a sore foot and the team was hoping Rashaad Penny would finally be able to take the practice field . . . but that won’t be the case this week after all.
“They’re not going to let him this week, but we’re getting ready to make the call here with him,” coach Pete Carroll said during his Monday press conference. “He’s very close. I wouldn’t think he’s two weeks away.”
Penny started the year on the Seahawks’ physically unable to perform list (PUP), recuperating from the ACL injury he sustained last season. There is still hope he could see time in 2020.
“There’s a really good chance we might get him next week,” Carroll continued. “He’s really excited about it and feels good about it.”
