The Seattle Seahawks are bringing back running back Rashaad Penny on a one-year deal, a source confirmed to ESPN on Sunday.
Penny returns on a prove-it deal after a stellar finish to an injury-plagued first 3½ seasons in the NFL.
Chris Carson, who has been Seattle's starter since 2018, is coming off neck surgery. Alex Collins, who first replaced Carson in the starting lineup before he was overtaken by Penny late in the season, is a free agent.
NFL Network first reported Seattle's deal with Penny.
After being viewed as a first-round bust for most of his four NFL seasons, Penny finished the 2021 season with one of the most prolific rushing stretches in Seahawks history.
