Vikings place Andre Carter II on physically unable to perform list

After receiving a record guarantee for a UDFA, Andre Carter II was placed on the physically unable to perform list.

The Minnesota Vikings have had a busy day with roster moves and made it busier by placing OLB Andre Carter II on the physically unable to perform list. Earlier on Monday, they signed TE Colin Thompson, waived WR Malik Knowles and placed guard/center Chris Reed on the non-football injury list.

Carter was guaranteed a record (outside of the La’El Collins situation) $340k for an undrafted free agent this April. He has a lot of talent as an edge rusher but is viewed as a long-term play due to having played at Army and training to be both a cadet and a football player.

Carter will be a very intriguing player to watch during training camp, as he possesses a great first step and excellent bend for his size.

Dee Eskridge, Travis Homer expected to be activated off PUP List

Seattle Seahawks rookie receiver Dee Eskridge and running back Travis Homer are expected to be activated off the Seahawks PUP List this week.

The Seattle Seahawks have been battling a number of injuries over the last couple of weeks, but coach Pete Carroll was able to provide some good news after the Seahawks’ 20-7 loss to the Raiders in Las Vegas on Saturday night.

“We should get a real boost this week of guys returning to us,” Carroll said.

Rookie wide receiver Dee Eskridge and running back Travis Homer are both expected to be activated off the Seahawks’ physically unable to perform list this week.

Eskridge, Seattle’s highest draft pick this year, has been suffering from a toe injury since the Seahawks’ OTAs earlier this spring.

“We’re going to take the wrapping off of him next week,” Carroll told reporters. “We’re excited to get him back. He looks fantastic in his workouts. He looks great. We’ve got to make sure before he really gets into full-speed action that he’s back and in condition for that, but as far as his power and his strength, all that kind of stuff, he’s back. We’re really looking forward to that.

“Travis Homer is at that same point too. Both of those guys are ready to bounce back next week.”

Homer, now in his third season, has been sidelined with a calf issue.

The Seahawks return to practice Monday, although there is no media availability until Tuesday.

Seahawks rookie WR D’Wayne Eskridge now running without problems

Seattle Seahawks rookie wide receiver D’Wayne Eskridge is now running without problems but still remains on the PUP list with a toe injury.

Seattle Seahawks rookie wide receiver D’Wayne Eskridge has yet to practice this summer after starting training camp on the team’s physically unable to perform list with a toe injury.

Coach Pete Carroll has been monitoring the situation carefully and providing regular updates on the rookie’s progress.

“He had a really good day again,” Carroll told reporters on Tuesday. “This was the fifth day in a row of him running and conditioning without any problems. That’s a really good sign.”

Eskridge injured his toe earlier in the year during the Seahawks OTAs and hasn’t been able to return to the field since. Carroll sees no reason to rush the first-year player just yet.

“We’re trying to make sure – because he has not been able to run in a conditioning manner over the offseason like we would like – we’re trying to make sure he’s in good shape so once he’s back out here he can sustain,” Carroll explained. “It’s all very positive and he’s going in the right direction.”

Luckily for Seattle, the Seahawks are fairly deep at the receiver position heading into the first preseason game this Saturday in Las Vegas.

D’Wayne Eskridge, Travis Homer placed on Seahawks PUP List

Ahead of the start of training camp, wide receiver D’Wayne Eskridge and running back Travis Homer have been placed on the Seahawks PUP List.

The Seattle Seahawks have placed a couple of players on the team’s Physically Unable to Perform List ahead of the official start of training camp on Wednesday. Rookie wide receiver D’Wayne Eskridge and running back Travis Homer will both start camp on the PUP List.

Eskridge, Seattle’s highest draft pick in April, had been limited throughout the offseason as he battled a toe issue. Homer had been sidelined with a calf injury.

In addition, the Seahawks also placed undrafted free agent guard Pier-Olivier Lestage on the Non-Football Injury List to start camp. Lestage had undergone surgery this spring to repair a sports hernia and is apparently still on the mend.

The first practice of 2021 training camp is set to kick off this afternoon.

Seahawks activated RB Rashaad Penny, he’ll make season debut Sunday

The Seattle Seahawks activated Rashaad Penny from the PUP list on Saturday and the running back will make his season debut in Washington.

The Seattle Seahawks have waited just over a year for his services, but running back Rashaad Penny has finally been activated to the 53-man roster.

Penny has spent all of 2020 on the Physically Unable to Perform list recovering from his torn ACL. He will make his season debut in Washington this Sunday.

“He looks terrific,” offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer said Thursday. “He’s looking fast, he’s looking explosive, moving really well, running routes really well. I think he looks as good as you could expect him to. I hadn’t seen him for a while. He’s been working when he came out, started last week, doing different things.

“This week, I think he’s getting close to being ready to go.”

Now that he’s been officially activated, Penny should see some snaps on Sunday.

The Seahawks also activated defensive end Damontre Moore on Saturday. To make room for both, running back Travis Homer (knee) and guard/tackle Jamarco Jones (groin) were placed on injured reserve.

Seahawks RB Rashaad Penny set to return to practice on Wednesday

Seattle Seahawks running back Rashaad Penny is set to return to practice on Wednesday after his long stint on the PUP list to start the year.

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.

Seahawks RB Rashaad Penny not yet ready to return to practice

Seattle Seahawks running back Rashaad Penny is likely still a few weeks away from returning from the physically unable to perform list.

The Seattle Seahawks have seen injuries to nearly every single running back on the roster this season. Carlos Hyde just resumed play after a hamstring injury, Chris Carson is set to return from a sore foot and the team was hoping Rashaad Penny would finally be able to take the practice field . . . but that won’t be the case this week after all.

“They’re not going to let him this week, but we’re getting ready to make the call here with him,” coach Pete Carroll said during his Monday press conference. “He’s very close. I wouldn’t think he’s two weeks away.”

Penny started the year on the Seahawks’ physically unable to perform list (PUP), recuperating from the ACL injury he sustained last season. There is still hope he could see time in 2020.

“There’s a really good chance we might get him next week,” Carroll continued. “He’s really excited about it and feels good about it.”

The Seattle Seahawks are hoping to get back a couple of players who weren’t able to make it to the active roster in time to start the season. Running back Rashaad Penny – on the Physically Unable to Perform list – and defensive end Darrell Taylor – on the Non-Football Injury list – are both working their way back towards activation to the 53-man roster.

“Both Rashaad and Darrell continue to progress,” coach Pete Carroll said Monday. “Darrell is working out with the strength and conditioning people now; he made a transition to that. So he’s really working hard now, he’s really working on cutting and moving and multiple direction changes and things like that are leading him back. I don’t know how long that will take, we’ll see how he responds. He had a really good day today, and how does he respond tomorrow is really important. So we’ll see what’s going on there.”

Taylor started the year on the Non-Football Injury list after undergoing offseason surgery to repair a leg injury he sustained his senior year. Penny is battling back from a torn ACL and the Physically Unable to Perform list.

“Rashaad, he’s doing all the same stuff,” Carroll continued. “He’s working out, he’s cutting. He’s as strong as he’s ever been, he’s at a good weight for him. It’s just a matter of when they feel and he feels that he’s got the confidence to go out there and bang those cuts. Being a speedster and a stop-and-start kind of guy, he’s got to get all that movement done before we can cut him loose out there.”

Carroll could have more information on both Taylor and Penny during his next press conference set for Wednesday afternoon.

The Seattle Seahawks have yet to announce their initial 53-man roster cuts, but there are a few reserve list additions that have hit the NFL’s official transactions for Saturday so far. Five players will be headed to reserve lists to start the season.

Running back Rashaad Penny (knee) has been placed on the Reserve/Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) list.

Defensive end Darrell Taylor (leg), tight end Colby Parkison (foot) and defensive back D.J. Reed have landed on the Reserve/Non-Football Injury (NFI) list.

Finally, guard Kyle Fuller will miss the first two games of the season on the Reserve/Suspended by Commissioner list for violating the league’s substance policy.

While we wait for the Seahawks’ roster cutdowns to be revealed, take a look at our tracker to see Seattle’s latest rumored moves.

Seahawks running back Rashaad Penny will start camp on PUP list

Seattle Seahawks running back Rashaad Penny will officially start training camp on the Physically Unable to Perform List this season.

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.
