A league source confirmed to The News Tribune that Seahawks rookie first-round draft choice Rashaad Penny was in Philadelphia Wednesday morning for hand surgery to repair a broken finger.
The running back is expected to miss up to a month.
The source asked not to be identified because the team had not confirmed Penny’s injury as of Wednesday prior to practice. Coach Pete Carroll was scheduled to talk to the media about Penny’s injury after that workout.
Multiple reports Tuesday night cited league sources saying Penny has a broken finger. Ian Rapoport of league-owned NFL Network reported Penny was on his way to Philadelphia for surgery Wednesday morning and that the running back is expected to miss three to four weeks.
