The Carolina Panthers are bolstering their running back lineup by signing former first-round pick Rashaad Penny, reuniting him with head coach Dave Canales. The team already has a strong RB corps with Jonathan Brooks, Chuba Hubbard, Miles Sanders, and Raheem Blackshear on the roster.

By the Numbers
  • Rashaad Penny made just three appearances for the Philadelphia Eagles last season, rushing 11 times for 33 yards.
  • In 2021, with Canales as the passing game coordinator for the Seahawks, Penny had his best season, rushing 119 times for 749 yards.
State of Play
  • Jonathan Brooks is recovering from a torn ACL suffered last season at Texas and is expected to be medically cleared in time for training camp.
  • Rashaad Penny's arrival is expected to aid Brooks' integration, and it also provides flexibility for a potential trade involving Miles Sanders, who lost the starting job to Hubbard last season.
Bottom Line

The Carolina Panthers' signing of Rashaad Penny adds depth to their running back lineup and provides flexibility for potential future trades, enhancing their offensive options for the upcoming season.
