Sporting shoulder pads for the first time since last January, the Seahawks held their fifth opening training camp practice on Tuesday. As has been the theme throughout camp, the defense once again held the advantage, allowing only two touchdowns all afternoon and being aided by a pair of missed field goals by Jason Myers.
What all went down at the VMAC? Here are five quick observations from Tuesday's first padded session:
1. All the way back from his ACL injury, Rashaad Penny ran with speed and power in another impressive practice.
During the first four open practice sessions, a leaner 223-pound Penny looked explosive and busted several big runs. But until he ran against a defense that wasn't playing two-hand touch, it remained unclear whether or not he was fully recovered from ACL surgery and a second minor procedure on the same knee. Those questions were answered emphatically on Tuesday, however.
