I do think he is injury prone.


Chad Pennington tears ACL

MIAMI -- Miami Dolphins quarterback Chad Pennington has a torn knee ligament and will undergo surgery next week.

Pennington tore the anterior cruciate ligament while playing pickup basketball, according to Creative Artists, his representation agency. CAA's release did not say which knee he hurt.

The 34-year-old Pennington will have surgery performed on April 7 by noted orthopedic surgeon Dr. James Andrews.

A two-time AP Comeback Player of the Year, Pennington's season was shortened in 2010 when he underwent his fourth right shoulder surgery. He is a free agent.

just what the Cards need.

I feel bad for the guy, he is a good QB but nobody can ever count on this guy to stay healthy for entire season. At least it wasn't his shoulder again.

 

[Russ Smith]

Man I feel for the guy he's had one of the most star crossed careers I can remember.

If M. Night Shymalan ever makes Unbreakable 2 and can't get Sam Jackson back to reprise the role of Mr. Glass, Pennington's his man.

Sadly, I have one word for Chad Pennington: Finis.

You'd also think pro athletes would learn that pick-up basketball is kryptonite to their ligaments.

RIP (retire in peace) Pennington.

RIP (retire in peace) Pennington.

A shame indeed....one day he is going to make a very good offensive coach, qb coadh and eventually a head coach....a real student of the game.
