The Seattle Seahawks kicked off OTAs on Monday but were without the services of their top two running backs. Chris Carson remains out as he recovers from neck surgery and Rashaad Penny, who just inked a new one-year deal, did not practice due to a hamstring issue.
“He’s just got a little hamstring thing that’s still tight,” Pete Carroll said of Penny. “We’re just making sure that he’s OK.”
Penny was available to participate in some activities, at least, but with his long history of injuries, this latest development should raise a few red flags.
“We’re just making sure that he’s OK,” Carroll explained. “He’s working out and he conditioned really well today – he’s running and flying around. But not ready to get where he can’t control the tempo.”
As for Carson, Carroll said he should know more about his status later in the week.
