Yahoo Sports NFL on Michael Penix Jr.

Penix's ACL recovery limits full-team work but keeps him in QB competition.

Penix remains limited to individual work and has not been cleared for full-team periods while recovering from a partially torn ACL suffered in December. Stefanski said Penix is preparing as if getting every rep and that they'll have a plan when he's cleared, but it remains unclear when that will happen. With roughly three weeks until the season opener, Penix may not have enough runway to earn the starting job by Week 1, though Stefanski's continued deferral of the QB decision suggests Penix still has a shot despite limited practice time.
