Yahoo Sports NFL on Michael Penix Jr.

Penix medically cleared but mental readiness for full contact remains uncertain.

Medically cleared to participate in practice, but the source raises significant questions about his readiness for Week 1 play. During joint practices with the Colts, Penix participated in 1-on-1s and 7-on-7s but acknowledged concerns about full-contact durability: 'If I had a rush coming at me and everything, I could get away, but it's just right now, if I don't get away, that's what we think about.' The source emphasizes the mental hurdle associated with his recovery remains uncertain—he's cleared physically but may not have fully overcome the psychological aspect of his injury, which could create additional injury risk.
