New injury and end of season for the Seattle rider.
ESPN reports that Rashaad Penny fractured his fibula and injured the shin of his left leg against the Saints. Pete Carroll announced on Sports 710 AM that the running back will have to undergo a specific operation to replace his bones and consolidate them.
Penny was injured during the third quarter of the game against New Orleans, after 8 carries for 54 yards. He was replaced by round two rookie Ken Walker.
The Seattle runner’s career has been perpetually studded with injuries. Recruited 27th choice in 2018, he has missed nearly half of his team’s games from his selection. He notably suffered from a cruciate ligament rupture in his knee in 2019, but showed remarkable qualities when present on the ground.
Penny had told ESPN how much her injuries were weighing on her, but had agreed to return to Seattle in the off-season to fulfill her commitments with the club. The Seahawks offered him a one-year contract for $ 5.75 million.
