Coach Pete Carroll didn't sound optimistic about Penny (knee) being able to play Sunday against the Chiefs, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports. "We're holding out hope that maybe on gameday [Penny] can do something," Carroll said Friday. "We'll find out. He did a little bit of work [Friday] for the first time this week and his recovery is going really well."
Although he referred to Penny as a game-day decision, Carroll doesn't seem to have any expectation that the rookie will be able to play. Penny returned to practice Friday as a limited participant, logging his first activity of any kind since Week 14. An absence Sunday would free up a few extra touches for Mike Davis and Chris Carson, with J.D. McKissic potentially getting the occasional snap.
