The Facts: Following up on a previous item. ... Pennington, making his first start at QB in over a year after suffering a shoulder injury in 2009, suffered a severe right shoulder injury that could once again end his season prematurely.

Diehards Line:The injury happened on the first play from scrimmage for the Dolphins offense versus Tennessee. After being hit but not driven to the ground on the play, Pennington stayed in the game one more play. In the huddle, one Dolphins player said, Pennington was asking teammates to pull on his shoulder and pop it back into place. After the second play, he realized he could not continue. Pennington has had three right shoulder surgeries. While the Dolphins did not rule anything in or out for him, it seems clear the team is making plans to go on without him.
