The Seattle Seahawks have suffered a number of injuries at the running back position this season, similar to last year that saw numerous ball carriers land on the injured reserve.

One of those players, Rashaad Penny, has remained on the Seahawks’ Physically Unable to Perform List as he recovered from his ACL injury.

Coach Pete Carroll gave some good news about the running back on Monday during his interview on 710 ESPN Seattle.

Penny will resume practice on Wednesday.

“I don’t know how these next couple weeks will go for him,” Carroll said. “It will all depend on how he handles the workload and how he feels and all of that. There’s no more he can do in rehab so we’ll find out what that looks like.

“It’s really exciting for him for sure and for all of us to get him back out.”

Penny’s return to the field could possibly help fellow backs Chris Carson and Carlos Hyde, who still continue to feel the impacts of their earlier injuries this season.
