Just when he was making progress towards a more complete role, rookie Rashaad Penny apparently will be out of the Seahawks’ offense for a while.
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.
That would mean he’s not likely to play in Seattle’s opener Sept. 9 at Denver.
Penny left Monday’s practice before it ended. After it, offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer was asked if Penny was OK.
