Seahawks RB Rashaad Penny to miss rest of 2022 season after fracturing fibula vs. Saints

Rashaad Penny’s season is indeed over after the Seattle Seahawks running back suffered a devastating injury during Sunday’s loss to the New Orleans Saints.

Coach Pete Carroll said Monday on 710 AM Seattle Sports radio that Penny suffered a broken fibula that will end his season. The running back also injured his tibia.

“It’s really just a heartbreaking loss for him,” Carroll said, via Brady Henderson of ESPN.

Penny exited the game on a cart midway through the third quarter after being gang-tackled on a 6-yard run.

The season-ending injury is the latest setback for the former first-round pick, who has never played a full season in five years with Seattle.

Penny played in 10 games in 2021 and caught fire down the stretch. His promising end-of-year play led to a one-year, $5.75 million contract to remain in Seattle after the club had declined Penny’s fifth-year option. Penny will be a free agent after the season.

The 26-year-old rushed 57 times for 346 yards and two touchdowns in five games before suffering the injury.
