Ian Rapoport of NFL Media reports that Seahawks RB Rashaad Penny reaggravated a calf injury in Sunday’s game against the Colts and is expected to be shut down for a few weeks to fully heal.
According to Rapoport, Penny could end up being placed on injured reserve in the coming days, which would force him to miss at least three weeks.
Penny, 25, is a former first-round pick of the Seahawks back in 2018. He’s currently in the third year of his four-year, $10,765,436 contract that includes a $5,909,408 signing bonus with the Seahawks.
Seattle declined his fifth-year option this past May, which would have cost the Seahawks $4.523 million fully guaranteed for the 2022 season.
He was placed on the Physically Unable to Perform list back in August of last year due to a knee injury. He was later activated in December.
In 2021, Penny has appeared in one game and rushed for eight yards on two carries.
