Chad Pennington Needs Knee Surgery


Free agent Chad Pennington needs ACL surgery after he was injured while playing pick-up basketball, ESPN's Chris Mortensen reports.

Pennington started one game for the Miami Dolphins last season, lasting just two plays before suffering a serious shoulder injury that landed him on injured reserve. Pennington underwent a fourth major operation on his throwing shoulder last December, and was planning to make another comeback in 2011.

A first-round pick (18th overall) out of Marshall by the New York Jets in 2000, Pennington has completed an NFL-high 66.0% of his 2,471 pass attempts for 17,823 yards with 102 touchdowns and 64 interceptions in his 11-year career.

Pennington joined the Dolphins in 2008, winning his second AP Comeback Player of the Year award.
