'It's a setback': Seattle Seahawks running back Rashaad Penny suffers left ankle injury in loss

NEW ORLEANS -- Seattle Seahawks coach Pete Carroll said running back Rashaad Penny "seriously" injured his left ankle Sunday and will have a hard time returning this season.

"I don't want to make any statements because I don't really know exactly yet until they get all the MRIs and stuff, but he's got a bad ankle (injury)," Carroll said. "He's in trouble getting back."

Penny, who broke out late last season after an injury-filled start to his career, went down at the end of a carry in the third quarter of the Seahawks' 39-32 loss to the New Orleans Saints.
