QB Chad Pennington Remains A Spectator

May 30, 2010

With the emergence of Chad Henne as Miami's starting quarterback, former starter Chad Pennington is taking on the role of mentor while he rehabs a shoulder injury. And Pennington is fine with that.

“I’m actually really OK with that,” Pennington said. "I know what we’re trying to get accomplished here as a team. I appreciate that perspective to where I don’t have to throw myself in the fire in May."

Pennington is hoping his shoulder will be in good shape when training camp rolls around. Right now, Miami head coach Tony Sparano is aiming to limit him to 40-55 passes per practice.

"Things really get heated up in August and that’s when I want to be at my best," Pennington said. "It would be crazy for us to come out here and do something to jeopardize that."

Fantasy Impact:

Pennington has never been an elite fantasy quarterback and no longer warrants a place on fantasy rosters.

“I will be playing on Sunday. Very excited, can’t pass up playing the Packers. I will be out there for sure.”

George Kittle says he’s good to go for Sunday

Fantasy Impact:

Kittle returns to a great matchup against a Packers defense that ranks 26th in TE aFPA. He should be fired up as a high-end TE1 once again.

Per Bears head coach Matt Eberflus: Ryan Bates remains in the concussion protocol. Elijah Hicks (ankle) and D'Andre Swift (groin) won't practice.

Teven Jenkins will be limited.

Related Players: Roschon Johnson, Travis Homer

Fantasy Impact:

This is definitely a situation to keep an eye on, as Johnson would have a huge workload if Swift were to miss Week 12. Homer has three rush attempts and zero targets on the year.
