Chad Pennington's latest comeback is under way, even though he's not sure he'll play again.
The Miami Dolphins quarterback has completed the first phase of rehabilitation from season-ending shoulder surgery, and he'll fly Wednesday to Birmingham, Ala., to consult with Dr. James Andrews, who performed the operation Oct. 2. They'll map out a recovery program for the next six weeks, and Pennington says he might wait until March to decide whether to play in 2010.
The surgery was the third on Pennington's throwing shoulder. Twice he has returned from injuries to win NFL Comeback Player of the Year, including in 2009, when he led the Dolphins to their first playoff berth in eight years.
