  • Explosive en route to two scores

    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

  • May get more reps

    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. Considering Penny still averaged 5.5 yards per carry even after discounting his 58-yard…read more

  • Erupts for 129 yards, touchdown

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

    Analysis: Penny entered the contest with just 167 rushing yards as the secondary option to Chris Carson, but the second-year pro out-touched Carson 14-12 and outgained him by 72 yards. 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. Coach Pete Carroll stuck with the hot hand in this low-scoring affair, and Penny likely earned…read more

  • No tread after fumble

    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.

  • Four carries in win

    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.

  • Manages 55 rushing yards

    Penny rushed eight times for 55 yards in Sunday's 27-20 win over the Falcons.

    Analysis: The Seahawks' coaching staff made a concerted effort to get Penny involved in the offense, as he took a carry on the first drive of the game. Penny was plugged in again two drives later and ripped off gains of nine and 17 to bring the offense into Falcons territory. The second-year pro looked explosive to register 6.9 YPC compared to Chris Carson's 4.5 on 20 rushes. This performance may keep Penny in the rotation going forward, although Carson hasn't shown much weakness as the Seahawks' bell…read more

  • No touches in loss

    Penny didn't record a touch in Sunday's 30-16 loss to the Ravens.

    Analysis: Penny returned to the lineup after missing Week 6's game with a hamstring injury, but it appears the Seahawks only planned to use Penny in case of emergency. That never surfaced, as Chris Carson piled up 21 carries and three catches while C.J. Prosise garnered one rush for 17 yards. Carson wasn't efficient with just 3.1 YPC, but the Seahawks' offensive line provided no help. Still, if Carson isn't ripping off big gains, Penny should have a role, albeit a limited one, in the backfield rotation…read more

  • Available Sunday

    Penny (hamstring) is listed as active Sunday versus the Ravens, John Boyle of the Lions' official site reports.

    Analysis: After a week of full practices, Penny has been given the all-clear to play for just the second time since the second game of the season. His workload will be interesting to note, though, as Chris Carson has been a true workhorse over the last three games. In Penny's three appearances, he's averaged 8.3 touches per contest.

  • Avoids injury report

    Penny (hamstring) wasn't listed on Wednesday's injury report, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

    Analysis: Coming off a third absence in a four-game stretch, Penny finally appears to be healthy and ready to get Seattle's backfield back to full strength. It remains to be seen how many reps he'll handle on a weekly basis, though, as Chris Carson has averaged 27.3 touches for 142.3 yards from scrimmage while scoring two touchdowns over the last three contests.

  • Will be 'full-go' Wednesday

    Coach Pete Carroll expects Penny (hamstring) to practice in full Wednesday, Curtis Crabtree of Sports Radio 950 KJR Seattle reports.

    Analysis: Penny was listed as a full participant on the last two injury reports last week, but he still got a questionable tag and eventually was ruled out Sunday at Cleveland. This followed his return from a two-game absence as he tends to a hamstring injury. Even if he returns this weekend, Penny will play a distant second fiddle to Chris Carson, who has managed three straight 100-yard outings on the ground.

  • Lands on inactive list

    Penny (hamstring) is listed as inactive Week 6 against Cleveland.

    Analysis: Penny was able to suit up and contribute last week against the Rams, but it appears he tweaked his hamstring again, as he was added back to the injury report this week. Even though he logged back-to-back full practice sessions, Penny will end up missing his third game of the season. In his absence, look for Chris Carson to lead the backfield, with CJ Prosise on hand in a backup capcity.

  • Logs full practice

    Penny (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game in Cleveland, despite being a full practice participant Friday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

    Analysis: Penny was added to the injury report Thursday as a full participant, perhaps hinting at a minor tweak of the hamstring injury that held him out in Weeks 3 and 4. Regardless, he appears on track to play in Sunday's game against Cleveland, with the kickoff scheduled for 1:00 p.m. ET. A late setback would leave C.J. Prosise as the No. 2 back behind Chris Carson.

    Penny (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game in Cleveland, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

    Analysis: Added to the injury report Thursday as a full participant, Penny now carries a designation for Sunday's game, while fellow running back Chris Carson (shoulder) has been cleared to play. Penny previously missed missed Weeks 3 and 4 with a hamstring injury, returning for last Thursday's win over the Rams with six carries for 18 yards and two catches for 31 yards on 12 snaps. C.J. Prosise got seven carries and five targets over a two-week stretch during Penny's aforementioned absence. The Seahawks…read more

  • Garners eight touches

    Penny rushed six times for 18 yards and caught both of his targets for 31 yards in Thursday's 30-29 win over the Rams.

    Analysis: This was Penny's first game back after he missed two contests with a hamstring injury. If he had been able to play in one of those games, Penny may have enjoyed an increased workload since Chris Carson was having fumble issues back then. However, Carson was the clear bell cow in this outing with 27 carries for 118 scoreless yards. Penny did show a spark of versatility by lining up out wide and catching a 30-yard pass in the third quarter, but he appears to simply be a change-of-pace option…read more

  • Ready to rock versus Rams

    Coach Pete Carroll said Thursday that Penny will be available Thursday versus the Rams, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

    Analysis: Penny missed Seattle's last two games due to a lingering hamstring injury, but he now appears back to full health and ready to retake the field. The 2018 first-round pick stands to play his usual role as a complement to backfield mate Chris Carson during Thursday Night Football. He'll attempt to make the most of his explosive skill set against Los Angeles' stout defensive front.

    Coach Pete Carroll is anticipating Penny (hamstring) being available Thursday versus the Rams, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports. "He looked ready to play (Sunday at Arizona). He looked like he could have gone," Carroll said Monday. "It was kind of defying the time frames for a hamstring to be ready in eight days, of the severity that it was."

    Analysis: After wrapping up last week with back-to-back limited listings on the injury report, Carroll relayed that Penny had a chance to play Sunday, but it didn't come to pass. Penny upped his odds to end a two-game absence by receiving a "full" tag on Monday's report. In the wake of Chris Carson's Week 4 load -- 22 carries and four receptions -- there's a potential opportunity for additional work for Penny. That said, Carroll called Carson "fine" Monday, so it appears Penny will settle back into the…read more

  • Gets 'full' tag Monday

    Penny (hamstring) was listed as a full participant on the Seahawks' estimated injury report Monday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

    Analysis: In the aftermath of Sunday's win at Arizona, coach Pete Carroll relayed his expectation that Penny would return this Thursday against the Rams, per Boyle. The Seahawks listing Penny as "full" is a good sign that will come to fruition, but Carroll and company likely will want to see him on the practice field before clearing him for game action. In any case, Penny could be in line for a decent workload just four days after lead running back Chris Carson racked up a whopping 26 touches.

  • Has chance to return Sunday

    Penny (hamstring) practiced in a limited capacity Friday and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at Arizona, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports. "He had a good week, in preparation for it. He didn't get to work every day this week, but he did finish out the week going. So that's a good sign," coach Pete Carroll said.

    Analysis: Sidelined Week 3 by a strained hamstring, Penny remained a non-participant Wednesday before wrapping up the week with back-to-back capped showings. As intimated by Carroll, the development is a sign that Penny is trending toward a return Sunday. In that scenario, Penny may not receive more than the 9.5 touches per game that he averaged the first two weeks of the season. That said, starter Chris Carson has lost three fumbles through three games, a trend that, if it continues, eventually could…read more

  • Listed as questionable

    Penny (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game in Arizona, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

    Analysis: Penny's return to a limited practice Friday would seem to give him a decent shot at avoiding a second straight absence. There's been chatter of an expanded role once he gets healthy, with Chris Carson losing three fumbles through the first three weeks of the season. In any case, Penny's availability for Week 4 may come down to a game-time decision ahead of Sunday's 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff. The Seahawks have C.J. Prosise and Travis Homer on reserve in the backfield.

    Analysis: Penny upheld coach Pete Carroll's initial thoughts on the running back's return to practice. With one session under his belt and another to go, Penny seems to have a chance to rejoin Chris Carson in the Seahawks' backfield this weekend. Friday's injury report will reveal whether or not that's a possibility.

    Analysis: Penny's return to practice has been a frequent topic of coach Pete Carroll's press conferences this week. On Sunday, Carroll mentioned Penny may participate as soon as Thursday. Then, Carroll bumped that up Wednesday. Because the latter didn't come to pass, Penny will attempt to uphold the initial timeline as he works his way back from a strained hamstring.

    Coach Pete Carroll said Wednesday that Penny (hamstring) will participate in practice, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.

  • Officially out Week 3

    Penny (hamstring) is inactive for Sunday's Week 3 tilt against the Saints.

    Analysis: Penny's absence has been expected for about the last 48 hours after the 2018 first-round pick hurt his hamstring in Friday's practice. The Seahawks have stated Penny's injury is not overly serious, but they'll play it safe and have C.J. Prosise and Travis Homer serve as complementary options behind Chris Carson.

    Penny, who injured his hamstring during Friday's practice and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Saints, isn't expected to play, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Penny's injury is not considered serious, but Schefter notes Seattle wants to be cautious with the second-year back while he manages the injury. Assuming Penny is included among Seattle's inactives when the team releases its list 90 minutes prior to the 4:25 p.m. EDT kickoff, C.J. Prosise would be the next man up for reps behind starter Chris Carson.

  • Injures hamstring at practice

    Penny injured his hamstring during Friday's practice and now is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Saints, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.

    Analysis: The last-second injury doesn't give Penny much time to recover, potentially opening the door for C.J. Prosise or Travis Homer to see a bit of extra work behind Chris Carson. The bigger impact of a Penny absence might simply be for the Seahawks to give Carson even more touches than he usually gets.

  • Leads team in rushing yards

    Penny rushed 10 times for 62 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 28-26 win over the Steelers.

    Analysis: The Seahawks gave Penny extra opportunities since Chris Carson fumbled in the second half, and he shined with a 37-yard touchdown run late in the third quarter. Penny's advantage over Carson is his explosiveness and big-play ability, which was on display here since he averaged just 2.8 YPC on the other nine carries. Expect Carson to take over again as the No. 1 in Week 3 versus the Saints, but this contest proves Penny is worth holding onto in season-long leagues in case the tide shifts.

  • Takes backseat in win

    Penny rushed six times for 18 yards in Sunday's 21-20 win over the Bengals.

    Analysis: Penny's inefficiency on the ground (3.0 YPC) was essentially the same as Chris Carson's unimpressive 3.1 YPC. However, Carson was clearly the No. 1 RB in Seattle's backfield, as he rushed 15 times for 46 yards and caught six passes for 35 yards while Penny didn't have any targets. Penny figures to continue having a place in this offense, but those reps appear to be limited so he'll need to be more efficient in Week 2 versus the Steelers to be fantasy viable.

  • Logs heavy workload in win

    Penny rushed eight times for 22 yards and a touchdown and brought in all three of his targets for 15 yards in the Seahawks' 23-15 preseason win over the Chargers on Saturday.

    Analysis: All of the Seahawks' healthy running backs saw time Saturday, with Penny checking in behind only Travis Homer in carries. While the 2018 first-round pick wasn't efficient on the ground by any stretch, he did make a solid impact in the passing game. Chris Carson seemingly has a firm hold on the lead-back role to start the season, but Penny is certainly projected for a notable boost in the 85 carries and 12 targets he logged across 14 games in his rookie season.

  • Posts 42 yards from scrimmage

    Penny rushed six times for 15 yards and brought in one of two targets for 27 yards in the Seahawks' 22-14 preseason win over the Broncos on Thursday.

    Analysis: Penny has been drawing positive reviews for a slimmer physique and the resulting increase in quickness and speed during training camp. He was able to flash some of it on his one catch, with the 2018 first-round pick taking a short pass from Geno Smith 27 yards up the left side of the field on Seattle's first possession. Penny was able to get first-team work with Chris Carson sitting out the contest for precautionary reasons, and he'll look to continue making a case to eat into the latter's…read more

    Penny has looked noticeably more agile early in training camp after slimming down to under 230 pounds during the offseason, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: After reporting to his first NFL training camp out of shape and struggling with his conditioning early in 2018, Penny entered this year's camp with a new mindset. The 27th overall pick in the 2018 NFL Draft has been making plays during the first few days of camp and even worked as a slot receiver on a few occasions. Penny's versatility in the passing game could come in handy as he looks to maintain a steady snap count behind Chris Carson, who looks set to enter the campaign as Option 1A on the…read more

  • Looking slimmer

    Offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer said Penny looks slimmer and in better shape than he did at minicamp last season, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports. "It's been cool to watch Rashaad, watch him grow up, watch him mature, watch him learn to kind of be a pro,'' Schottenheimer said. "I'm really pleased with the way he is attacking practice right now."

    Analysis: With Chris Carson recovering from a procedure on his knee, Penny has been operating as the No. 1 running back at spring practices. Coach Pete Carroll mentioned Penny's improved conditioning earlier this offseason, noting that he expects the second-year back to be part of a "one-two punch" with Carson. Penny got off to a slow start as a rookie but then ran for 5.8 yards per carry from Week 4 through the end of the season, ripping off nine gains of 15-plus yards in the process. He also had 10…read more

  • Will push for more snaps

    Coach Pete Carroll said Penny will push Chris Carson for more playing time and expects the duo to form a one-two punch, John Boyle of the Seahawks official site reports.

    Analysis: Penny had a bumpy rookie season, as he missed most of training camp with a broken finger and fell behind Chris Carson and sometimes even Mike Davis in the backfield pecking order. He was still highly explosive and averaged 4.9 YPC to reach 419 rushing yards and added nine receptions for 75 yards. Carson was dominant and more consistent, however, racking up 1,314 scrimmage yards through 14 games. Penny has the potential to be a lethal running back, but he's facing an uphill battle since Carson…read more

  • One notable carry in loss

    Penny rushed four times for 28 yards in Saturday's playoff loss to the Cowboys.

    Analysis: Penny was the most efficient running back on paper in this outing with 7.3 yards per carry, but that stat's deceptive since it's a small sample size and one of his rushes went for 28 yards while the other three combined for a goose egg. The rookie first-round pick couldn't secure a starting role this season when Chris Carson was healthy and only recorded double-digit carries twice, ending up with 85 carries for 419 yards and two touchdowns. Carson broke out as a highly productive back, but…read more

  • Bottled up by Cardinals

    Penny gained just six yards on four carries in Sunday's win over the Cardinals.

    Analysis: Penny missed the previous two games with a knee injury and didn't get a carry until the second quarter. It was a brutally unproductive outing, and he fell behind Mike Davis, who rushed seven times for 44 yards and a touchdown. Penny is a more explosive back than Davis, but with limited touches, he needs to break out big plays early to earn more opportunity behind indisputable starter Chris Carson. The rookie first-round pick shouldn't be counted on in postseason fantasy formats without a…read more

  • Suiting up Week 17

    Penny (knee) is listed as active Sunday against the Cardinals.

    Analysis: A full practice participant all week, Penny still needed to get through a pregame workout unscathed to make his first appearance since Week 14. With the health of his knee approved by the training staff, he'll be available to the Seahawks backfield, though his workload could be determined by game flow. Chris Carson will get the initial touches but could be pulled if Seattle gets out to a comfortable lead, which would leave Penny and Mike Davis to vie for snaps.

  • Needs to complete pregame workout

    Coach Pete Carroll said Penny (knee) will be a game-day decision Sunday against the Cardinals, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

    Analysis: A full practice participant throughout the week, Penny nonetheless finds himself listed as questionable for the regular-season finale, per Boyle. Penny seems more likely than not to suit up and could actually get some extra work if the Seahawks jump out to a lead. The team needs a win to ensure a first-round matchup with Dallas instead of Chicago, but it still makes sense to ease up on Chris Carson after three straight games with 22 or more carries. Sunday's kickoff is scheduled for 4:25 PM ET.

  • Technically listed as questionable

    Penny (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.

    Analysis: It's a bit surprising to see Penny with a game designation after he logged full practices Wednesday and Thursday. It's possible he had a minor setback during one of those sessions, but the more likely scenario is that there isn't really any doubt about his Week 17 availability. The Seahawks could give the rookie a bit of extra run in an effort to keep Chris Carson fresh for the playoffs.

  • Returns as full participant

    Penny (knee) was a full practice participant Wednesday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

    Analysis: In the midst of absences the last two games due to a knee injury, Penny put in one limited practice last Friday. Since then, coach Pete Carroll was optimistic about the running back's potential to return Week 17 against the Cardinals, and an uncapped session Wednesday sets up Penny to do just that. With the backfield now at full strength, Penny will join Mike Davis as options to spell starter Chris Carson, who has racked up 77 touches the last three contests versus 35 for the remaining backs.

    Coach Pete Carroll expects Penny (knee) to practice Wednesday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

    Analysis: Penny has missed the last two games due to a knee injury, but a glimmer of hope regarding his health arrived in the form of a limited practice last Friday. Carroll piggybacked on that development Monday and reiterated it Wednesday, telling Boyle that Penny should suit up this weekend against the Cardinals if he makes it through the week of prep "OK." Penny's initial listing for Week 17 will be revealed on Wednesday's practice report.

    Analysis: Prior to earning inactive status for a second straight game this past Sunday against the Chiefs, Penny practiced for the first time in two weeks, logging a limited session Friday. It wasn't enough to prove the health of his knee, but it appears as if he'll have a chance to do so this week. Carroll elaborated to John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site, saying Penny should suit up Week 17 if he makes it through preparations OK.

    Penny (knee) is listed as inactive Sunday versus the Chiefs.

    Analysis: Penny made his presence felt in practice Friday for the first since Dec. 8, getting listed as a limited participant. While saying that Penny's recovery was "going really well," coach Pete Carroll told Brady Henderson of ESPN.com that his availability will depend on "whether or not it's the right decision for him to go and if we can get enough information on game day." Clearly, the Seahawks didn't like what they saw in the meantime to allow Penny to return, ensuring his second absence in a row.…read more

  • Looking unlikely for Sunday

    Coach Pete Carroll didn't sound optimistic about Penny (knee) being able to play Sunday against the Chiefs, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports. "We're holding out hope that maybe on gameday [Penny] can do something," Carroll said Friday. "We'll find out. He did a little bit of work [Friday] for the first time this week and his recovery is going really well."

    Analysis: Although he referred to Penny as a game-day decision, Carroll doesn't seem to have any expectation that the rookie will be able to play. Penny returned to practice Friday as a limited participant, logging his first activity of any kind since Week 14. An absence Sunday would free up a few extra touches for Mike Davis and Chris Carson, with J.D. McKissic potentially getting the occasional snap.

  • Headed for game-day call

    Penny is viewed as a game-day decision for Sunday's matchup with the Chiefs, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

    Analysis: Per Boyle, Penny is listed as questionable on the Seahawks' final injury report after returning to practice Friday as a limited participant. His availability shouldn't have a huge impact on the Seahawks' game plan, as they can simply allow Chris Carson and/or Mike Davis to take a few more carries if the rookie isn't available. Davis handled the vacated snaps in last week's 26-23 loss to the 49ers, but Carson might be the beneficiary if Seattle were to play with a lead this time around.

    Analysis: Penny didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday, but he might be listed as a limited participant Friday once the Seahawks update their final injury report. A limited session could set Penny up a game-time decision ahead of Sunday's 8:20 p.m. EST kickoff.

    Penny (knee) was held out of practice Thursday, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: With a pair of DNPs under his belt this week, Penny is trending toward a second consecutive absence as a result of a knee injury. He could flip the script Friday by returning to practice in some capacity, making the Seahawks' final Week 16 practice report one to watch out for. With Penny's status still in limbo, Chris Carson (28 touches Week 15) and Mike Davis (13) are poised to handle the bulk of the backfield reps Sunday versus the Chiefs.

    Penny (knee) won't practice Wednesday, but he has a shot to do some work during Thursday's session, Curtis Crabtree of Sports Radio 950 KJR Seattle reports.

    Analysis: Unable to practice in any capacity last week, Penny is now in danger of missing a second straight game Sunday against the Chiefs. Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune believes the Seahawks' recent signing of running back Bo Scarborough is a hint that Penny may be out for a while longer. Chris Carson handled 22 of the team's 29 backfield carries during last week's 26-23 loss to the 49ers, with Mike Davis contributing five totes and eight receptions.

    Coach Pete Carroll was noncommittal about Penny's Week 16 availability Monday, the Seahawks' official site reports. "We've got to wait a couple of days here," Carroll said. "We'll see by Wednesday. He's working hard to try to get back, but it's not certain yet if he's going to be able to turn it around or not."

    Analysis: Carroll has been coy about the rookie running back's knee injury, telling Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune last Friday that Penny has undergone MRIs and other tests and doesn't need surgery. Taking Carroll at his word, Penny is doing everything possible to practice this week, with his first chance coming Wednesday. As a possible contingency plan, the Seahawks signed Bo Scarbrough off the Jaguars' practice squad Tuesday. Regardless, Chris Carson and Mike Davis will dominate the backfield as…read more

  • Not scheduled for surgery

    Coach Pete Carroll said Penny (knee) had an MRI and isn't expected to require surgery, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.

    Analysis: Penny didn't practice this week and has been ruled out for Sunday's game in San Francisco. His absence should free up more work for Mike Davis behind starter Chris Carson, though it's also possible Carson or J.D. McKissic handles some of the vacated snaps/touches. While the rookie doesn't seem like a great bet to make it back for Week 16, the Seahawks hope he can play again this season.

    Penny (knee) won't play in Sunday's game at San Francisco, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

    Analysis: The rookie seems to have injured his ankle during Monday's 21-7 win over Minnesota, though he still managed to gain 44 yards on eight carries. Penny's usual allotment of 4-8 carries likely will go to either starter Chris Carson or passing-down back Mike Davis, though J.D. McKissic might also get a few chances. A minor boost to Carson's Week 15 outlook is in order, though he likely will be playing without 340-pound guard D.J. Fluker (hamstring), who is listed as doubtful.

  • Non-participant again Thursday

    Penny (knee) was held out of practice Thursday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

    Analysis: With back-to-back absences to open Week 15 preparations, Penny could be in danger of his first absence as a professional Sunday in San Francisco. Over the previous five contests, all of his work has occurred on the ground -- 7.8 carries per game -- so both Chris Carson and Mike Davis could benefit in the event Penny doesn't play or is limited this weekend. Fortunately for Penny, he has another practice to put himself in the running for active status.

  • Has knee injury

    Coach Pete Carroll said Penny won't practice Wednesday due to a knee injury, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.

    Analysis: Penny strangely avoided all three Week 14 injury reports but still was listed as questionable ahead of Monday's game against the Vikings as a result of an ankle issue. He brushed it off and turned eight rushes into 44 yards in the victory, marking his fourth outing in five games where he averaged more than 5.0 yards per carry. The rookie hasn't been able to usurp Chris Carson for a featured role so far, and tending to injuries in back-to-back weeks won't help his cause.

  • Shows glimpse of explosiveness

    Penny rushed eight times for 44 yards in Monday's win over the Vikings.

    Analysis: Penny made solid reads and scampered for a combined 12 yards on his first two carries. His big play came in the second quarter when it looked as if he'd be stopped for a loss near the left sideline, but Penny cut back and displayed his speed by running to the opposite sideline to gain 17 yards and a first down. These explosive bursts will keep Penny as the clear No. 2 back ahead of Mike Davis, but Chris Carson has a stranglehold on the top spot for now.

  • Available Week 14

    Penny (ankle) is listed as active Monday against the Vikings.

    Analysis: Penny wasn't listed on Week 14 injury reports, implying he was a full participant in each practice. That said, he was given a questionable designation for this game due to an ankle injury. In the end, the issue didn't impact his gameday availability, but the rookie can expect to remain second or third fiddle out of the Seahawks backfield alongside Mike Davis and behind Chris Carson. Hurting Penny's cause further is a matchup against Minnesota's eighth-ranked run defense (99.2 yards per game).

  • Questionable with ankle injury

    Penny is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Vikings with an ankle injury, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

    Analysis: Penny wasn't present on the injury report until Saturday so the specifics of the injury remain unclear, especially considering he wasn't listed as missing any practice. If able to play Monday, the 22-year-old should assume his usual complementary role to starting RB Chris Carson. Mike Davis would likely see an increased snap share if Penny is ultimately unable to suit up.

  • Efficient performance

    Penny rushed seven times for 65 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's win over the 49ers.

    Analysis: Penny logged two carries on the Seahawks' second drive, rumbling for 18 yards and setting up the team's first score. That efficiency allowed him to start in the backfield to begin the second half, where he took his first rush and hit the gas pedal, dashing 20 yards to find the end zone and extend the lead to 24 points. Penny is showing flashes of his ceiling with three of seven carries going for 15 or more yards. Chris Carson left the game with a finger injury and didn't return, and if he can't…read more

  • Enhanced role on tap

    Offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer expects Penny to have a larger role in Seattle's game plan Sunday against the 49ers, Andy Patton of USA Today reports. "I expect that [Penny] will play well this weekend," Schottenheimer said. "Expect that we need to get the running game back going again and I think he'll be a big part of that."

    Analysis: Penny appeared to gain some momentum during his up-and-down rookie season in Weeks 10 and 11, when he logged a combined 20 totes for 154 yards (7.7 per carry) and a touchdown. The first-round pick saw his usage tumble the following week, however, as he logged just 10 offensive snaps and four carries in last Sunday's 30-27 win over the Seahawks, with both Chris Carson (32) and Mike Davis (18) outpacing him in terms of usage. Both Carson and Davis remain healthy heading into the weekend, but a…read more

  • Rarely used in win

    Penny rushed four times for four yards in Sunday's win over the Panthers.

    Analysis: Penny's carries were distributed between two different drives, as he clearly wasn't an integral part of the Seahawks' game plan while Chris Carson led the way with 16 carries for 55 yards. It appears Penny will need to break off big runs to lock in touches like he did in the two previous games, though he could see more work in Week 13 if the Seahawks jump out to a sizable lead in a home game against the 49ers.

  • Minimal impact after explosive first carry

    Penny rushed eight times for 46 yards in Thursday's 27-24 win over the Packers.

    Analysis: Penny's first carry was promising as he was held up in the backfield but made multiple cuts, ultimately recording a 38-yard gain. That striking rush showcases Penny's upside, but the rest of his outing was forgettable with just eight yards on his next seven carries. With Chris Carson back in the mix, Penny's role will likely be inconsistent going forward, but he did at least log more touches Thursday than fellow running back Mike Davis (six) handled.

  • Thursday's role not guaranteed

    Coach Pete Carroll said Penny's workload is in jeopardy with Chris Carson (hip) returning for Thursday's game against the Packers, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports. "When everybody's healthy, not everybody's going to get the ball a lot," Carroll said. "That's just the way it goes, so we'll figure that out."

    Analysis: The rookie's Week 10 performance against the Rams -- 12 rushes for 108 yards and a touchdown -- will earn him a consistent role in the Seahawks' offense, but fantasy owners should heed Carroll's words and hinder their expectations. This is still a committee backfield, and Carson eclipsed 100 rushing yards in three of five games before his injury while Mike Davis has developed into a dual-threat back with 11 catches over the last two weeks. There's a lot of talent between the three running backs…read more

  • Takes reins in backfield

    Penny rushed 12 times for 108 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 36-31 loss to the Rams.

    Analysis: This is the production the Seahawks expected when they picked Penny in the first round of April's draft. With Chris Carson (hip) out, Penny outpaced Mike Davis, who rushed 11 times for 58 yards. This adds to the ambiguity in the Seattle backfield, but coach Pete Carroll could ride the hot hand Thursday against the Packers if Carson remains out.

    Penny rushed four times for 11 yards and caught all three targets for 13 yards and zero touchdowns in Sunday's 25-17 loss to the Chargers.

    Analysis: Penny rushed once on the Seahawks' first drive, proving he was part of their game plan before Chris Carson left with a hip injury. Still, Mike Davis (22 touches) benefited from Carson's absence, leaving Penny with another disappointing outing. If Carson's injury keeps him out in Week 10 against the Rams, Penny may receive more chances.

    Penny may see an uptick in usage if Chris Carson (hip) sits out Sunday's game against the Chargers, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Penny didn't play a single offensive snap in the Week 8 win over the Lions, as Carson and Mike Davis both shared the backfield work. The same timeshare arrangement could be in place if the two backs are ready to go for Week 9, but Penny would likely have a clear path to a spot in the rotation if Carson -- who is considered a game-time decision -- is deemed unavailable. Even if that's the case, Davis would still represent the top option to pace the backfield in touches. When the Seahawks played…read more
