Is Chad Pennington out for the season?

Miami Dolphins’ quarterback, Chad Pennington, has been diagnosed with a torn capsule in his throwing shoulder. The Dolphins are expecting him to miss the rest of the season. Pennington has had two previous surgeries on his shoulder, in 2004 and also in 2005. Pennington was injured when tackled in an awkward position by linebacker Kevin Burnett on Sunday the 27th. With Pennington sidelined this gives 2nd string quarterback Chad Henne the opportunity to take control of the Dolphins offense. The win over Buffalo on Sunday gave Henne his first NFL win and his first NFL passing touchdown. As the season progresses we will watch and see how Chad Henne leads the Miami Dolphins.
