The Eagles have agreed to terms on a one-year deal with running back Rashaad Penny, a league source told ESPN, confirming multiple reports.
Penny tested free agency and returned to Seattle in 2022 on a one-year deal worth $5.75 million. He began the season as the starter over rookie second-round pick Kenneth Walker III, rushing for 346 yards and two touchdowns on 57 carries over the first five games before he went down in Week 5, breaking the fibula and injuring the tibia on his left leg.
His long list of injuries also includes a torn ACL in December 2019 -- just as he was starting to break out -- that sidelined him for much of the 2020 season. He missed five games after hurting his calf in the 2021 opener and another game last November with a pulled hamstring. The Seahawks drafted Penny 27th overall in 2018 out of San Diego State despite a preference among several members of the organization to select Nick Chubb. He spent most of his first four seasons backing up Carson.
Overall, he has 1,918 yards on 337 attempts -- an average of 5.7 yards per carry -- in 42 games over five seasons. He has scored 14 total touchdowns.Copyright © 2023 ESPN Internet Ventures. All rights reserved.
