Penny (thigh) carried five times for eight yards and caught his lone target for six yards in Saturday's 30-3 preseason loss to the Broncos.
After tearing his ACL in Week 14 of the 2019 season, Penny came back last year and logged just 11 carries for 34 yards over three games. The Seahawks didn't pick up his fifth-year option, so he's battling for placement on the depth chart. This was a tough start to Penny's comeback, though we shouldn't read into this exhibition performance too much. The Broncos' starting defensive line was on the field against the Seahawks' backup offensive line. Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic believes Penny will be the No. 2 back to start the year, but Chris Carson should handle a majority of the reps as long as he's healthy.
