Rashaad Penny Could Return In Week 7
3 years agoSeattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said that running back Rashaad Penny (calf) will be back from Injured Reserve this week and will be "full speed, ready to roll." It's good news for a Seattle backfield that currently has Chris Carson (neck) on Injured Reserve. Fill-in Alex Collins (hip, glute) was also injured late in the Sunday night overtime loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers, although he hasn't been ruled out for Week 7 against the New Orleans Saints on Monday night. Penny's return will add a new wrinkle to the Seahawks backfield with Carson out, which will complicate Collins' status as an RB3/flex in deeper leagues. However, Penny just hasn't been able to stay healthy in his career, so it's understandable to be skeptical that he'll jump into a significant role while Carson heals.
