Henne & Pennington "More Than Likely" Done For Season

Miami Gardens — Tony Sparano said he had "no idea" who his starting quarterback would be Thursday night against the Bears, but it looks like his choices have been narrowed to one: Tyler Thigpen.

According to a source, both Chad Pennington and Chad Henne are "more than likely" out for the season after suffering serious injuries in Sunday's 29-17 win over the Tennessee Titans.

Chad Henne left the locker room on crutches and had a 6:30 p.m. MRI scheduled on his left knee, which was twisted while throwing an incompletion late in the third quarter. Henne said his kneecap was pushed to the side on the play.

Pennington opened the game with his first start since Week 3 of 2009 but injured his thrice surgically repaired right shoulder on the first play of the game. He stayed in for one more play before leaving for good.

Pennington did not speak to reporters after the game. A Dolphins spokesman said Pennington did not "want to be a distraction," but talk was he was understandably distraught by this turn of his events.

Pennington was hit by Titans defensive end Jason Babin on a stunt off the left side. Right tackle Vernon Carey missed the block, and Babin shoved Pennington to where his follow-through caused his right arm to hit left tackle Jake Long.

Pennington stayed in for one more play, hitting Brian Hartline for 19 yards, before calling a timeout and removing himself from the game.
