Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll visited KIRO Radio 97.3 FM for the Pete Carroll Show on Friday and gave some encouraging information regarding running back Rashaad Penny.

Although he hasn’t been activated to the 53-man roster quite yet, Carroll confided that the third-year running back looked fast and agile in practice and could be back on the field soon.

“The other guy that was really exciting this week was Rashaad Penny,” Carroll said. “He looked very, very good, and very quick and shifty. He was really excited to be able to get to work for the first time. We’re going to bring him back and see where he fits in one week at a time.”

The Seahawks have had a multitude of injuries to key players, but Penny has been on the PUP list for the entire 2020 season due to the ACL injury he suffered last year. It seems like the organization will take their time with him until he is 100% healthy and they can comfortably put him back on the field.

The Seahawks will play the 0-12 New York Jets at Lumen Field on Sunday at 1:05 p.m. PT.

Seahawks announcer Steve Raible leaves KIRO, keeps play-by-play job

Seattle Seahawks play-by-play announcer Steve Raible retired from his duties as a KIRO-7 anchor but will continue his job with the team.

Seattle Seahawks play-by-play announcer Steve Raible has announced that he will be leaving KIRO 7 in the late spring after serving as a TV news anchor for nearly 40 years.

However, he will still remain in the Seahawks radio broadcast booth on game days.

“I won’t be leaving you entirely,” Raible wrote in his goodbye press release. “I will still be your voice of the Seahawks and I will join you here on KIRO 7 for special occasions.”

Seahawks fans should be relieved to hear this news, as the 65-year-old Raible has cemented himself as a broadcasting icon in the Emerald City over the years with his distinctive voice and catchphrases such as “Touchdown Seahawks” and “Holy Catfish.”

It is difficult to imagine anyone filling Raible’s shoes in the near or distant future, but he will be around for at least the 2020 season.
