NFL free agency: Eagles sign former first-round pick Rashaad Penny as potential Miles Sanders replacement

The Philadelphia Eagles added yet another potential star to their prolific rushing attack Tuesday. The team reportedly agreed to sign former Seattle Seahawks running back Rashaad Penny, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.

Terms of Penny's contract with the Eagles were not immediately available.

Penny, 27, has averaged an eye-popping 6.2 yards per rush over the past two seasons, though that figure comes with a major drawback. Penny has battled various injuries over his career, and has played in just 15 games over the last two years.

When healthy, Penny has looked like a superstar. He won many fantasy championships in 2021, when he exploded for 706 yards and 6 touchdowns in the final 6 weeks of the season. Penny looked to build on that performance in 2022, but was limited to just 5 games due to a broken fibula.

Penny's injury issues extend past the last two seasons. He was limited to 10 games in 2019 after tearing his ACL. He returned in 2020, playing in just 3 games.
