The Seattle Seahawks executed a number of roster moves on Monday, mostly addressing the health statuses of a number of players who had or will be reporting to training camp.
Most notable, the Seahawks have now officially placed running back Rashaad Penny on the Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) list to start training camp. Penny’s season was cut short in 2019 when he tore his ACL late in the season and landed on the injured reserve.
Penny has not yet reported to Seattle for camp but the plan is for him to arrive later in the week.
“He’s coming in on Thursday, we didn’t think we needed to rush him in because he’s still rehabbing,” coach Pete Carroll told reporters during a Zoom press conference on Monday. “He’ll come in Thursday for Friday, and he’ll start his process of reconnecting with us on Friday. We’re anxious to get back. He’s working out really hard the reports are really strong that he’s doing well, but we have not had him in our building for a while now, so this will be our first chance.”
If Penny is to start the regular season on the Physically Unable to Perform list, he would have to sit out the first six games of the year.
