faba Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 Jets QB Pennington misses practice for family reasons Associated Press HEMPSTEAD, N.Y. -- Jets quarterback Chad Pennington was excused from practice Thursday for personal reasons and his status for this weekend's preseason game against Washington is uncertain. Coach Eric Mangini said Pennington left because of a family illness. He wouldn't say whether Pennington would travel to Washington with the team Friday or play against the Redskins on Saturday. "I want Chad to make sure he's able to focus on his family and take care of the things he needs to take care of," Mangini said. When asked whether they were preparing to play without Pennington, Mangini said: "We're always preparing for the different contingencies that come up. We'll follow it closely and adjust accordingly as we go." Pennington, coming off a second major shoulder injury, is in a four-way competition for the starting job with Patrick Ramsey, Kellen Clemens and Brooks Bollinger. Though Mangini hasn't announced a starter, Pennington appears to be the favorite to win the job. Copyright 2006 by The Associated Press Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
