When Dolphins quarterback Chad Pennington left Sunday'...

Sep 27, 2009

When Dolphins quarterback Chad Pennington left Sunday's game with an injury to his throwing shoulder in the third quarter, it created a domino effect.

The Dolphins chose to insert Chad Henne, listed as the third quarterback, rather than Pat White, the nominal backup on game day. That meant that neither White nor Pennington could return because Henne had come into the game before the start of the fourth quarter.

Pennington was injured on the fourth play of the second half when Chargers linebacker Kevin Burnett threw him to the ground after an incompletion on third-and-7 from the Miami 40 yard line. Right tackle Vernon Carey appeared to be the culprit on the knockdown.

Pennington has undergone two major surgeries on that right shoulder.

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.
