Seahawks RB Rashaad Penny: ‘I really try not to get hurt’

Penny addressed that question today with the media, saying he really tries not to get hurt.

Injury-prone is probably the most unfair term used to describe pro athletes. It’s not like anyone wants to get hurt playing the game they love. For those who play high-risk positions like running backs, that stigma can be particularly hard to shake.

Seahawks running back Rashaad Penny returned to practice this week after missing the team’s first several games on injured reserve with a calf problem, the latest in a long line of health-related issues that have kept Penny off the field often over the last four seasons. Penny addressed that question today with the media, saying he really tries not to get hurt.

Seahawks to place QB Russell Wilson on IR following finger surgery

However, coach Pete Carroll told reporters today the team will be placing Wilson on IR.

Russell Wilson had a streak worthy of Cal Ripken Jr. going, making 149 straight starts for the Seattle Seahawks. That run will come to an end next Sunday when Geno Smith takes the field as Seattle’s starter against the Pittsburgh Steelers, the first time anyone other than Wilson has done so in 10 years.

Wilson has a ruptured tendon in the middle finger on his right hand, which required surgery. Recovery time for normal humans is usually between 6-8 weeks. Wilson has resources and habits beyond most of us, though so fans should probably expect him to miss less time than that. Some reports have said Wilson will only miss four weeks.

However, coach Pete Carroll told reporters today the team will be placing Wilson on IR.

Under the new rules he will be eligible to return to the active roster after three games – making Week 10 against the Packers the earliest return date.

Seahawks QB Russell Wilson to have MRI today on injured finger

According to a report by Ian Rapoport at NFL Network, Wilson will undergo an MRI today.

Russell Wilson’s unbroken streak of starting every game in his Seahawks career is suddenly in jeopardy. In the third quarter of Thursday night’s increasingly painful loss to the Rams, Wilson injured a finger on his throwing hand. While he came back onto the field for another drive after, Wilson found he couldn’t grip the ball well enough, so he finished the game on the sidelines as Geno Smith took over.

After the game, Pete Carroll called Wilson’s injury a “really bad sprain.” Soon, we’ll learn more. According to a report by Ian Rapoport at NFL Network, Wilson will undergo an MRI today.

Smith performed admirably with Wilson out, but he hasn’t had to start more than one game in a season since 2014 with the Jets.

On the bright side, Wilson has nine days to recover before the next game on the schedule. The Seahawks visit the Steelers next Sunday night.

Seahawks roster tracker: C Ethan Pocic to IR, LB Jon Rhattigan signed to 53-man roster

Here’s a rundown of Seattle’s transactions.

The Seattle Seahawks made several changes to their roster today. As reported yesterday by NFL Network, rookie linebacker Jon Rhattigan has been officially signed to the 53-man roster after being activated for last week’s game. That’s one of several moves the team has announced.

Here’s a rundown of Seattle’s transactions.

LB Jon Rhattigan signed to active roster

Rhattigan played most of the Seahawks’ special teams snaps against the Colts and provides extra depth at linebacker – which is a thin spot if you’re not counting edge defenders like Alton Robinson and Darrell Taylor.

C Ethan Pocic to injured reserve

Kyle Fuller has won the center competition by default. Fuller and Pocic traded snaps on Sunday in Indianapolis until Pocic left with a knee sprain. Now, Pocic is going on IR.

Three practice squad signings

The team also added three new players to their practice squad, all of whom came in for a visit on Tuesday. Wide receiver De’Quan Hampton, tight end Michael Jacobson and receiver Connor Wedington are signing. Free agent outside linebacker Jachai Polite also visited but will not be joining the practice squad again at this time.

G Jordan Simmons signs with Raiders

The practice squad also lost a key member, with their young guard Jordan Simmons getting signed by the Raiders, who are fresh off a thrilling overtime win on Monday Night Football.
