Penix has been cleared for individual work, but not yet for 11-on-11 duty. He's coming off the torn left ACL suffered in Week 11 of the 2025 season, which was Penix's third torn ACL after suffering two in college. He's a little more than eight months removed from surgery, and Penix said he could return soon but that he could be held back for as much as four more weeks before he's cleared for 11-on-11.
