Update:
Ian Rapoport reports that Seahawks first-round RB Rashaad Penny is undergoing surgery to repair a finger injury that includes a broken bone Wednesday morning.
According to Rapoport, Penny will miss three-four weeks, which means he’ll be cutting it close when it comes to being ready for the start of the regular season.
Bob Condotta of the Seattle Times reports that Seahawks first-round RB Rashaad Penny suffered a hand injury that includes a broken finger in practice on Monday.
According to Condotta, it’s unclear how much time Penny could miss with this injury, but the expectation right now is that he’ll be out “a little bit of time.”
Condotta adds that Seahawks HC Pete Carroll is expected to meet the media on Wednesday and clarify Penny’s injury and timetable.
