The Seattle Seahawks were just coming around the bend in anticipation of hitting the home stretch during the 2019 season when Murphy’s law hit the running back position. Each of Rashaad Penny and Chris Carson put fantastic performances on the board in the team’s Week 13 win over the Minnesota Vikings, only to see injuries derail their seasons in the coming weeks.
Carson, the starter, went down in Week 16 with a hip injury that landed him on injured reserve, while Penny had unfortunately found his way to IR earlier in the month following a torn ACL and “additional damage” to the knee.
