Re: NFL Regular Season Thread
Ha, about fucking time!
Ha, about fucking time!
Miami Dolphins quarterback Chad Pennington has been initially diagnosed with a torn capsule in his throwing shoulder and the Dolphins expect him to miss the rest of the season, sources familiar with the injury he suffered Sunday told ESPN senior NFL analyst Chris Mortensen.
The winless Tampa Bay Buccaneers benched starting quarterback Byron Leftwich and replaced him with second-year pro Josh Johnson, who takes over following one of the worst offensive performances in team history.
Coach Raheem Morris made the change Monday, a day after the Bucs fell to 0-3 while gaining just 86 yards in a 24-0 loss to the New York Giants. Leftwich completed 7 of 16 passes for 22 yards and one interception.
Brady Quinn's reign as the unquestioned leader of the Browns' offense didn't even last three games.
Cleveland again has a quarterback quandary, though this one isn't expected to last nearly as long as the first.
After taking the entire preseason to choose Quinn as his starter over Derek Anderson, Browns coach Eric Mangini said he will announce on Wednesday who will start this week against Cincinnati (2-1).
"We'll go back and look at the game and look at some other things," Mangini said Monday, without elaborating what those "other things" entail. "Look at the operation when both guys are in and then look at who gives us the best chance to move the ball consistently."
