What we learned from Seahawks training camp Day 14: Getting Chris Carson 50+ receiving targets?

RENTON — What was officially the last play of Seahawks’ training camp Tuesday also may have foreshadowed the future.

With the ball at the 7-yard line and sensing a blitz, quarterback Russell Wilson “used a signal’’ to let running back Rashaad Penny, split out wide, know the ball would be coming his way, in the words of offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer.

Wilson got the pass off, Penny made the catch as he crossed into the end zone, and coach Pete Carroll decided that was a good note on which to officially break camp.

Later, Schottenheimer said it’s the kind of play — using the running backs as receivers — that the Seahawks plan to do more of in 2019.
