Penix not cleared for full team work; won't play preseason Week 1 vs. Denver.

Has not been cleared for full team work and remains limited to 7-on-7 work and individual drills during training camp. On July 29, Penix said he 'can't afford to have somebody trip and fall and land on me right now,' indicating ongoing injury caution. Will not play against Denver in preseason Week 1. The source notes that while Penix has drawn rave reviews from quarterbacks coach Alex Van Pelt and Kevin Stefanski for his practice work, his clearance status prevents him from competing on a level playing field with Tua for the starting job until his participation ramps up to full team work.
