I want to be stronger. I want to be out there and give the team 100%. If I don't feel I can do that, that's not fair to this team, not fair to this organization.

Penix inactive Week 1; wants full recovery before returning from torn ACL

Penix remains sidelined from a torn ACL and has been declared inactive for Week 1. He told coach Kevin Stefanski he needs more healing time before returning, stating he wants to be "100%" and "stronger" before playing. Penix has a history of injury troubles: all four of his college seasons ended early due to injuries (including two torn ACLs in his right knee), and he missed the final eight games last season after suffering a partially-torn ACL in his left knee.
