The Eagles and Penny (lower leg) agreed to terms on a contract Tuesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Since the Seahawks made Penny a first-round pick in the 2018 NFL Draft, he's been beset by injuries, seeing action in just 42 of 82 possible games across five seasons. What he's been able to do when available is significant, as he's averaged 5.7 YPC and reeled off 24 runs of 20-plus yards among his 337 career rushes. With Miles Sanders and Boston Scott currently unrestricted free agents, Philadelphia appears poised to roll with the backfield combo of Penny and Kenneth Gainwell in the upcoming campaign, setting Penny up for success behind one of the NFL's top offensive lines. First though, he will need to complete his recovery from the broken left fibula and high-ankle sprain that ended his 2022 season after only five contests.
