DAVIE, Fla. (AP) — A person familiar with Chad Pennington’s condition says the Miami Dolphins quarterback dislocated his shoulder.
Pennington underwent tests Monday on his injured right shoulder, and now may seek a second opinion to determine how long he’ll be sidelined, said the person, who requested anonymity because the Dolphins have said little about the injury.
The person said Pennington’s shoulder was dislocated Sunday in a 23-13 loss at San Diego, and tests will determine whether there was damage to the rotator cuff. An operation on the shoulder would be Pennington’s third since 2005.
Teammates braced for the likelihood Pennington will miss Sunday’s home game against Buffalo, which would mean the first NFL start for backup Chad Henne.
