The Facts:
On a play hauntingly similar to last Sept. 25, the day he wrecked his shoulder for the second time, the Jets' hard-luck quarterback may have hurt it again last night when his right arm was hit by a blitzing safety in a 16-3 loss to the Bucs. Eric Mangini declined to discuss injuries after the game, but Pennington went to the sideline immediately after that play and made at least two dozen warmup throws, with members of the Jets' medical staff watching.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
As Daily News staffer Rich Cimini suggested, it seemed like a curious time for an impromptu bullpen session. Later, sitting on the bench, he flexed his arm a few times, as if trying to test the range of motion. ... Cimini went on to note the Jets went to great lengths to shield Pennington from the media after the game. His clothes were removed from his locker, where reporters had gathered, and were brought to him in the trainer's room -- where a reportedly evasive Pennington claimed he spent 45 minutes reviewing stats. ... The QB said he was fine, but we'll continue to watch.
