Penix cleared for all football activities after ACL recovery.

Penix received clearance for all football activities this week after meeting with his doctors; he has been limited in practice all summer while recovering from a torn ACL but has been practicing throughout training camp without taking 11-on-11 snaps. The clearance enables the planned quarterback competition with Tua Tagovailoa for the starting job to move forward.
