It was Michael Penix Jr.'s third full practice since being medically cleared last week, and he told the media he feels great, and that he's getting more comfortable and confident each day.

Penix cleared for 11-on-11 and progressing well; sitting out preseason finale.

Penix is in his third full practice since medical clearance and reports feeling great with increasing comfort and confidence each day. He is cleared for 11-on-11 practice and improving daily, though he will not play in the preseason finale against Miami due to insufficient reps (only three full practices) at full speed; he believes he could be ready for Week 1 if the ramp-up continues.
