Running back Rashaad Penny is retiring from the NFL after six seasons.

The Panthers placed Penny on the reserve/retired list Tuesday and signed undrafted rookie wide receiver Tayvion Robinson in a corresponding move.

Penny, 28, signed with the Panthers in May, reuniting him with coach Dave Canales. He had his best season with the Seattle Seahawks in 2021 when Canales was the passing game coordinator and new Carolina offensive coordinator Brad Idzik was an offensive assistant. He rushed 119 times for 749 yards and six touchdowns.

Penny, 28, played last season for the Philadelphia Eagles, but he appeared in just three games and rushed 11 times for 33 yards.

Selected by the Seattle Seahawks in the first round (27th overall) of the 2018 draft, he has rushed for 1,951 yards and 13 touchdowns in his career.

ESPN’s David Newton contributed to this report.
