The Falcoholic on Michael Penix Jr.

ACL injury history may affect long-term contract prospects if performance falters.

Penix tore his ACL last November and watched the front office and coaching staff that drafted him get canned this spring. The source notes that unless Penix can convince the new staff he's the guy because of his injury history, he has a real chance of getting the team to pick up his fifth-year option; if he's hurt or ineffective in the weeks ahead, that chance is gone.
