Pennington "week to week", may miss Ravens game

Per Adam Schefter of NFL.com (http://www.nfl.com/news/story?id=09000d5d802395d2&template=without-video&confirm=true):


NFL Network's Adam Schefter is reporting that Chad Pennington could miss Sunday's game at Baltimore, after suffering an ankle injury in the team's loss to New England. Pennington is considered week-to-week.

Pennington played his guts out yesterday and did very well. He is a tough kid, and a very good QB. I understand the limitations he has with his arm, but he has an incredible ability to read a defense, throw it to the right place quickly and puts incredible touch on the ball. A very underrated player.

If they have to go with Clemens, they will take a step back. Clemens has talent, but he is green as grass. He looked nervous yesterday when he got in the game. Granted, he was coming in cold off the bench as opposed to preparing all week to start, but if he has to play an extended length of time he will take his lumps while he learns.

New York Jets (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/clubhouse?team=nyj) quarterback Chad Pennington (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?statsId=5047) is reportedly telling those close to him that he does not think he will play Sunday against the Baltimore Ravens, opening the door for Kellen Clemens (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?statsId=7798) to get his first start, the Star-Ledger of Newark, N.J. reported, citing an anonymous source.

Pennington sustained what appeared to be an ankle injury in the third quarter of the New England Patriots (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/clubhouse?team=nwe)' 38-14 rout of the Jets on Sunday and limped off the field as some Jets fans appeared to cheer his injury. He returned to the game for one offensive series, leading the Jets on a scoring drive, but sat out the rest of the game as Clemens came on in relief.

"Chad doesn't think he could play this week," the source told the Star-Ledger on Tuesday. "He said the ankle is really sore. He wants to play and he's going to give it a try, but he doesn't think he's going to play."


The Jets have acknowledged Pennington's ankle is hurt -- but that's about all the team is saying.

"It is the ankle, same as what was announced during the game," coach Eric Mangini said Monday. "We'll review it during the course of the week, like we do every injury situation."
