The Seahawks carried the ball 32 times for 190 yards in their 33-31 loss to the Rams on Sunday.
Their rookie first-round pick was not a part of that success.
That doesn’t mean Rashaad Penny wasn’t active or available to play. But, outside of a kickoff he caught in the end zone for a touchback in the first quarter, the 27th overall choice in the 2018 NFL draft was notably absent the rest of the way.
Through five games, 2017 seventh-round pick Chris Carson leads Seattle with 64 carries, 293 rushing yards, two 100-yard rushing performances and 73.
