Penix Jr. Focused on Knee Recovery, Not Timelines

Penix, whose original clearance was expected in late August, noted he could be cleared "any day" but hasn't been re-examined by doctors yet. "I can't worry about a starting job until I'm worried about getting back on the field," he added, explaining his focus remains solely on returning to full health before engaging in the QB competition.
