Falcons sign WR Penny Hart to one-year deal

The #Falcons have signed former Seahawks wide receiver Penny Hart to a one-year deal

The Atlanta Falcons have added a wide receiver to their roster, signing veteran Penny Hart to a one-year deal on Thursday morning. Hart, 26, spent the last three seasons in Seattle where he appeared in 39 games for the Seahawks.

For his career, Hart has 11 catches on 17 targets for 82 receiving yards, with one carry for 19 yards and a touchdown. Wide receiver is one of the team’s biggest needs at the moment and the former Georgia State product can provide some depth in the slot and on special teams.

The Falcons previously signed receivers Mack Hollins, Scotty Miller and KhaDarel Hodge to one-year deals this offseason.

Former Seahawks WR Penny Hart signs with Falcons

Former Seahawks wide receiver Penny Hart visited the Falcons yesterday, according to a report by Ian Rapoport at NFL Network.

Former Seahawks wide receiver Penny Hart visited the Falcons yesterday, according to a report by Ian Rapoport at NFL Network.

Hart (5-foot-8, 180 pounds) went undrafted out of Georgia State and got his first gig in the league with the Colts. However, he was only in Indy about a week before he was released and signed to Seattle’s practice squad in October, 2019. He went on to play 39 games with the Seahawks, totaling 11 catches, 82 yards and four touchdowns. This past season Hart only appeared in nine games as he battled injuries, including a hamstring issue.

If Atlanta signs him he will be joining a pretty top-heavy wide receiver room. They have last year’s first-round pick Drake London and not a whole lot else going on at that spot. However, the rest of the Falcons roster looks far more interesting than it did a couple months ago. No team was more aggressive in free agency and they’ve sinced added Bijan Robinson, who some people believe is the actual best player in the 2023 draft class.

Update:

Hart has indeed signed with Atlanta.

Seahawks getting healthier entering 2nd half of season

The Seattle Seahawks are on the mend and expecting a number of injured players to return heading into the second half of the season.

The Seattle Seahawks have won three games in a row to lead the NFC West with a 5-3 record on the year. Coach Pete Carroll provided some additional good news during his Wednesday press conference – the team is getting healthier and should see the return of a number of players to start the second half of the season.

“We’re bouncing back here,” Carroll told reporters. “Cranked to get going here and I can feel a couple guys coming back to us. Hopefully, we can keep working on the health of the club and all.”

Carroll mentioned wide receiver Penny Hart and center Austin Blythe, in particular.

“There’s a chance that Penny Hart gets back out there and that’s a good boost,” Carroll continued. “Austin looks like he can work today so that’s a real positive for us. So we’ll see if we can keep building and get ready for a championship opportunity going down there in Arizona.”

In addition, cornerback Tre Brown has returned to practice and is expected to be activated back to the roster in the near future.

The first official practice report of the week will be released later this afternoon.

[sendtonews_embed video_id=”mdyxc4OI96-2309058-7498″]

The Seattle Seahawks are in the City of Angels to face the Chargers. They will look to climb above .500 but they will have to do so without some depth in the secondary and offensive line.

The story of this game will be revolving around the health of two of these teams’ top receivers. Tyler Lockett has been listed as questionable all week due to an hamstring issue, but according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter he is expected to play. How big his role will be is certainly to be determined.

As for the Chargers, all eyes are on wide receiver Keenan Allen and his hamstring injury. Allen has not played since Week 1 but has announced he intends to play today. It remains to be seen how involved he will be, but his active status isn’t great news for the Seahawks. In two career games against Seattle, Allen has hauled in 11 receptions for 179 yards.

A look at Seahawks injuries heading into Week 7

Coach Pete Carroll provided a number of Seattle Seahawks player injuries ahead of the Week 7 matchup against the Chargers.

The Seattle Seahawks came away from their Week-6 win over the Arizona Cardinals relatively unscathed, but the team is still dealing with a number of injuries. Coach Pete Carroll provided some updates during his Wednesday press conference.

Defensive tackle Al Woods, who injured his knee in Week 5, practiced on Wednesday. “Yeah, he feels good,” Carroll told reporters.

Guard Gabe Jackson (hip): “We don’t know anything today,” Carroll said. “We’ll just go day-to-day.”

Linebacker Alton Robinson (knee): “I don’t have a good one for Alton right now,” Carroll said. “He’s still kind of in the middle of it.”

Cornerback Tre Brown (knee): “He is really starting to go,” Carroll explained. “He’s really close and he’s running really fast, he’s changing direction. It’s just, can he endure it and keep coming back? He’s not very far away now. I would say we are a couple of weeks away maybe and he should really be fighting to get back out there. I’m really excited to see him. I love when he was playing for us. He did a really good job. To add him to the competition would be great.”

Running back Travis Homer (rib): “Travis is really making progress,” Carroll said. “He’s a week away now. He’ll be eligible to come back next week. We’ll see if he can do that. He’s worked really hard and he’s really chomping at the bit to come back.”

Linebacker Darryl Johnson (foot): “Bam is a little less known right now,” Carroll admitted. “He hasn’t been able to do as much, so he’s not as close right now.”

Wide receiver Penny Hart (hamstring): “I talked to Penny specifically today,” Carroll confirmed. “There was a chance that we could’ve IR’d him a week ago and just knowing his nature and how he bounces back and all that, I would’ve sat him down for four weeks. I just told him, ‘We thought about it, but we’re kind of counting on you to make it back before then.’ So, we’ll see. It’s still a four-week injury, but some guys can get through those time frames.”

Defensive end L.J. Collier (elbow, thumb): “He’s going to practice,” Carroll said. “He’s really close, now. We need to see how well he can deal with it. He just kind of barely made it through practice last week, really couldn’t put his hand in there, because his thumb was really hurting.”

Seahawks Week 6 Inactives: Al Woods 1 of 5 players ruled out vs. Cards

Seahawks Week 6 Inactives: These 5 players ruled out vs. Arizona

[sendtonews_embed video_id=”sj3ZZwsdWa-2295436-7498″]

The Seattle Seahawks will look to climb back to .500 against the Arizona Cardinals, but they will have to do so without some recognizable names.

The only player ruled out prior to Sunday was wide receiver Penny Hart, who injured his hamstring against the Saints. For a second straight week the Seahawks’ receiving corps depth will be tested, as rookie Dareke Young was ruled out before the Week 5 showdown in New Orleans.

Unfortunately, the Seahawks will  be without some of their stalwarts on both the offensive and defensive line. Guard Gabe Jackson and defensive tackle Al Woods both left the Saints game with knee injuries. Woods’ absence will be a tremendous blow to an already ailing run defense

The Cardinals already ruled out their top two running backs in James Connor and Darrel Williams. However, both the Lions and the Saints were without key offensive pieces. It did not stop them from scoring 45 and 39 points respectively. This could be a battle between a stoppable force and a movable object.

Pete Carroll details Seahawks’ injuries following loss to Saints

Coach Pete Carroll provided a number of injury updates following the Seattle Seahawks loss to the New Orleans Saints on the road in Week 5.

The Seattle Seahawks lost more than just the game on Sunday afternoon in New Orleans when running back Rashaad Penny left the field on a cart after sustaining a serious ankle injury, which is likely a fractured tibia.

“He hurt his ankle . . . seriously,” coach Pete Carroll said during his press conference. “I don’t want to make any statements because I don’t know exactly until they get all the MRIs and stuff, but he’s got a bad ankle and he’s going to have trouble getting back.”

Penny wasn’t the only Seahawk to get banged up during the matchup, defensive tackle Al Woods left the contest early as well with a knee injury.

“His knee flared up,” Carroll said. “He was having a great game, he was doing everything. It’s really unfortunate because had his whole family here, everybody’s right down the road and all that. He was dying to go back in, but he couldn’t quite get it done.”

Finally, guard Gabe Jackson rotated out some time due to a hip flexor and wide receiver Penny Hart suffered a hamstring injury.
