Penny rushed 11 times for 39 yards while catching both of his targets for five yards in Tuesday's 20-10 loss to the Rams.
Penny wound up splitting touches with fellow back DeeJay Dallas, finishing with two more total touches while the latter collected the team's lone touchdown. Head coach Pete Carroll stated that he would continue to use a combination of backs to close out this injury-plagued season, but that Penny deserved a shot to continue starting after going off against the Texans last week (16-137-2). The 2018 first-round pick will get a far softer matchup against the Bears on Sunday.
