The Seattle Seahawks received the worst of news regarding starting running back Rashaad Penny, as it was announced on Monday that he would miss the rest of the season due to an ankle injury. The recovery time is expected to be about four months.
As a result, Seattle claimed former Saints running back Tony Jones off of waivers on Monday to help fill out the running back room. It is a position which had gotten very shallow following not only this injury to Penny, but also given the fact that Travis Homer is on injured reserve for at least another two games after getting hurt in the Week 3 loss to the Atlanta Falcons.
