Rashaad Penny News
Tuesday, July 30, 11:14 AM
The Carolina Panthers have placed running back Rashaad Penny on the reserve/retired list. Penny, who joined the Panthers this offseason, was set to reunite with head coach Dave Canales, the passing game coordinator during Penny's standout 2021 season with the Seattle Seahawks, and Brad Idzik, now the Panthers' offensive coordinator. Unfortunately, a series of injuries including multiple strains, a torn ACL, and a fibula fracture have hindered Penny's once-explosive performance. Despite rigorous rehab, he struggled to regain the speed that made him a dynamic force in college. Penny's 5.6 yards per carry would be the highest in NFL history if he had sustained it. He also recorded 2,248 rushing yards at San Diego State in 2017, ranking fifth for a single season in NCAA history. The former first-round pick had stints with the Seattle Seahawks and Philadelphia Eagles before signing with the Panthers in May. Penny retires with 1,931 career rushing yards, 13 touchdowns on 348 carries, and 28 receptions for 227 yards.

Najee Harris News
Sunday, September 13, 3:05 PM
New York Giants running back Najee Harris (coach's decision) is a healthy scratch for Sunday's Week 1 contest against the Dallas Cowboys. Harris signed with the Giants last month, offering depth behind Cam Skattebo, Tyrone Tracy Jr., and Devin Singletary. There had been some speculation that Harris might jump as high as No. 2 on the depth chart, but for now, he's the odd man out of this four-man backfield. The 28-year-old had four consecutive top-24 fantasy finishes in Pittsburgh, but then he went to the Chargers last year and suffered a season-ending Achilles tear in Week 3. Harris should remain off the fantasy radar as long as Skattebo and Tracy are healthy.
