    Chad to call games for Fox

    Chad Pennington to work for Fox

    Scratch Chad Pennington as an option for the Miami Dolphins' -- or anybody else's -- quarterback depth chart next season.


    Pennington told the Charleston Daily Mail he plans to skip the 2011 season while he recovers from shoulder and knee injuries and will work for Fox Sports as an analyst. The two-time NFL Comeback Player of the Year, who will turn 35 next weekend, said he might consider returning to the field in 2012.

    "I'm actually going to take this year off, get healthy and do some work for Fox Sports," Pennington told the West Virginia newspaper. "I'm going to evaluate things and see where I am physically."

    He signed a one-year contract with Fox Sports and will be paired with Sam Rosen, the Miami Herald reported.

    "He came to Los Angeles for an audition a few weeks ago and we think he has a chance to be a pretty successful analyst," Fox Sports spokesman Dan Bell told the newspaper.

    Pennington suffered another major injury to his throwing shoulder a few snaps into his lone Dolphins start last season. He tore a knee ligament while playing a pickup basketball game in March.

    He said playing hoops was "a dumb decision. ... I haven't played [football]. I wasn't training real hard at the time because I was doing some shoulder rehab, and my legs weren't ready to play basketball. So it was just dumb."

    Pennington was scheduled to be a free agent once the lockout ends.

    Tim Graham covers the AFC East for ESPN.com.

    This sucks, seeing as how i'm unlikely to see many games this year, but I really hope he either replaces joe buck, or goes into coaching.

    Injured again at his age makes another comeback less likely than ever before. At this point in time he should hope his broadcasting career thrives.
    I'm getting to that age where a lifetime warranty just doesn't mean as much to me anymore as an afternoon nap.

    This just in. Pennington will be out for 6 to 8 weeks after getting a concussion while putting on his headset.

    Nah, He's going to have another shoulder injury from drawing out the plays on the teleprompter. He'll be out by week 5, have surgery, and he'll be fully recovered by week 8 next season.

    Does broadcasting have a IR?
