  Rashaad Penny Facing Four-Month Recovery

  Seattle Seahawks running back Rashaad Penny (leg) is facing a four-month recovery after he has surgery to fix a fractured fibula. On a one-year deal, he'll be healthy with plenty of time to take free-agent visits once he officially hits the open market next March. Penny will have surgery on Tuesday morning, but the MRI exam on his injured ankle came back relatively clean with no deltoid or associated issues. He will undergo tight-rope surgery and have his fibula plated to stabilize his ankle. Fantasy managers can safely drop the 26-year-old in single-year leagues. In his absence, rookie Kenneth Walker III will become the primary back in Seattle, with DeeJay Dallas stepping up for an elevated role behind him for the rest of the season.

  Rashaad Penny's Season Is Over

  Seattle Seahawks running back Rashaad Penny (ankle, leg) suffered a broken fibula in the Week 5 loss to the New Orleans Saints and will miss the rest of the season, according to head coach Pete Carroll. Penny also suffered a high-ankle sprain. The oft-injured 26-year-old will undergo surgery on his leg. He'll finish the 2022 season with 57 carries for 346 yards (6.1 yards per carry) and two touchdowns while also adding four catches on five targets for 16 yards in five games played. Penny will enter free agency this winter with plenty of injury questions. In his absence, rookie Kenneth Walker III is now in line to take over lead-back duties in Seattle, with DeeJay Dallas also in line for more work as the No. 2. Walker will be one of the most popular waiver-wire pickups this week.

  Rashaad Penny To Undergo Testing On Monday

  Seattle Seahawks running back Rashaad Penny (leg) is set to undergo further testing on Monday to determine whether surgery is needed. The 26-year-old suffered a fractured fibula during Sunday's loss to the New Orleans Saints. The expectation is that Penny is going to be sidelined for the rest of the season. That means, Kenneth Walker III and DeeJay Dallas will need to pick up the slack in the backfield. In Week 5, Walker finished with 88 yards and a touchdown on eight carries. He's going to be one of the hottest pickups on the waiver wire this week with Penny likely lost for the year.

  Rashaad Penny Suffers Fractured Tibia

  Seattle Seahawks running back Rashaad Penny (leg) was diagnosed with a fractured tibia, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. It was initially believed that the 26-year-old suffered an ankle injury. However, the news is much worse, with Penny next heading for testing to determine if surgery is required. The oft-injured veteran, who played only 13 games over the last two seasons, may be done for a while, if not for the remainder of the 2022-23 campaign. With Travis Homer (ribs) on the injured reserve list, the team will likely turn to Kenneth Walker III and DeeJay Dallas, although the former is expected to lead the backfield. Walker finished the Week 5 loss to the Saints by amassing 88 yards and a touchdown off eight carries. The rookie will surely draw waiver interest during the week, so fantasy managers should be prepared to act.

  Rashaad Penny Returns To Practice Thursday

  Seattle Seahawks running back Rashaad Penny (shoulder) returned to practice Thursday. He was dealing with a shoulder issue and held out of Wednesday's practice. The 26-year-old returned Thursday and is expected to play against the New Orleans Saints in Week 5. Penny had a season-high 18 touches and shredded the Lions' defense by racking up 157 yards from scrimmage in the Week 4 win over the Seahawks. Penny will be the Seahawks' lead back and is a borderline RB2 against a Saints defense that ranks 13th in rush DVOA this season.

  Rashaad Penny Doesn't Practice Wednesday

  Seattle Seahawks running back Rashaad Penny (shoulder) was a non-participant at Wednesday's practice. He is dealing with a shoulder issue and was spotted on the side during warmups but did not practice. The 26-year-old shredded the Lions in the Week 4 win with 151 rushing yards and two touchdowns. Penny will have two more chances to practice before the Seahawks determine his status for Week 6 against the New Orleans Saints. Kenneth Walker III and DeeJay Dallas would see an uptick in usage if Penny cannot suit up in Week 6.

  Rashaad Penny Tests Positive For COVID-19

  Seattle Seahawks running back Rashaad Penny has tested positive for COVID-19 and was unavailable for Thursday's practice. Head coach Pete Carroll disclosed that Penny wasn't working through any symptoms, which should clear the back for a return in the coming days. Penny is the presumptive new lead back in Seattle upon Chris Carson's retirement, with rookie Kenneth Walker III (hernia) also in the mix. Penny led the NFL last season with 6.3 yards per carry, notching 749 yards and six touchdowns on the ground across 10 contests. While he may begin the season firmly in flex territory, Penny could emerge as a solid RB2 option if he proves to garner the vast majority of carries and is able to stay healthy. The Seahawks open the regular season on Sept. 12 vs. Denver.
