Dolphins | Pennington injury update Wed Nov 18, 12:39 PM
Armando Salguero, of the Miami Herald, reports Miami Dolphins QB Chad Pennington (shoulder) said Tuesday, Nov. 17, he has completed the first phase of his rehabilitation from season-ending shoulder surgery and now must map out a recovery program for the next six weeks. At this stage, Pennington said, he's not certain if he will play again. He might not make that decision until March. However, regardless of what that decision is, the chances of Pennington playing for the Dolphins again are quite slim. The team has a starting quarterback in QB Chad Henne. They have committed time and resources on making backup QB Pat White a success. They also have QB Tyler Thigpen under contract.

Dolphins | Pennington likely done for the year Mon Sep 28, 03:20 PM
ESPN's Chris Mortensen reports Miami Dolphins QB Chad Pennington (shoulder) is expected to miss the remainder of the season with a torn capsule in his throwing shoulder.
| Our view: Pennington has had trouble with this shoulder before, so it's not surprising if he gets shut down for the entire year. He had surgery on the shoulder in 2004 and 2005, and has consulted Dr. James Andrews for a second opinion. |

Dolphins | Pennington has MRI Monday Mon Sep 28, 11:55 AM
Jeff Darlington, of the Miami Herald, reports Miami Dolphins QB Chad Pennington (shoulder) had an MRI Monday, Sept. 28, and is awaiting the results. Pennington suffered a dislocated shoulder in Week 3, but the greater concern is whether he tore it. Trainers had to pop Pennington's shoulder back into place immediately after he suffered the injury early in the third quarter of the team's Week 3 game.
| Our view: Pennington's had trouble with this shoulder before, and it wouldn't surprise us to see Chad Henne in the lineup over the next few weeks as Pennington rehabs. |

Dolphins | Pennington injury update Mon Sep 28, 09:30 AM
Edgar Thompson, of the Palm Beach Post, reports Miami Dolphins QB Chad Pennington (shoulder) said he will see a doctor Monday, Sept. 28, but did not want to speculate how long he might be out of the lineup. Pennington, who suffered a shoulder injury in Week 3, said he was in no pain after the game.
| Our view: This Pennington injury has opened the door for Chad Henne, the second-year quarterback out of Michigan. The Dolphins are 0-3, and the offense should have more vertical plays with the strong armed Henne under center. |

Dolphins | Henne failing to create QB competition Tue Aug 11, 12:06 PM
Edgar Thompson, of the Palm Beach Post, reports that backup second-year QB Chad Henne has thrown the ball nicely and executed his play-action and ball fakes well, but he hasn't performed consistently enough to create a QB competition with starter Chad Pennington, especially in the two-minute drill
| Our view: This is Pennington's team, however, if they falter like some expect, the Dolphins could look to Henne for a shot in the arm. Head coach Tony Sparano said Henne will get the majority of snaps in the preseason so the team can see how he performs in a variety of situations. |

Dolphins | Team may turn to Henne in the regular season Fri Jul 31, 07:35 PM
Omar Kelly, from the South Florida Sun-Sentinel, reports if the Dolphins aren't contending for a playoff spot at midseason, the coaches might give Henne and his big arm a test drive to help determine whether Pennington needs to be re-signed.
| Our view: Kelly notes that Pennington is the leader of this team, but Henne represents the future. Those people putting Pat White in the QB of the future role are sadly mistaken. Henne looked good in camp last season and his big arm, size, and toughness put him in line to be the next starter. Pat White has struggled in minicamp and will have to start out his NFL career as a gadget/Wildcat QB. |

Dolphins | Pennington remains No. 1 quarterback Thu May 7, 12:51 PM
Armando Salguero, of The Miami Herald, reports while all of the talk of the Miami Dolphins quarterbacks has surrounded the drafting of Pat White and how second-year QB Chad Henne is slated to take over as the starter in 2010, it has been overlooked that QB Chad Pennington remains the starter in 2009.
| Our view: Chad Pennington's job is fairly safe. Unless Pennington were to go down with an injury it doesn't sound like Chad Henne is ready to be the starter. Pat White may be the perfect Wildcat QB, but he may have to be listed as a WR to see action on Sundays as #3 QBs can only enter games in emergency situations and are listed as inactive. |
