What happened: Michael Penix Jr. has been cleared to throw and take individual and 7-on-7 reps. His remaining practice restrictions exclude contact.
Why it matters: The limitations keep his camp workload short of full team participation. He has targeted Week 1 while emphasizing patience with rehabilitation.
By the numbers: Penix underwent left ACL surgery Nov. 25 and was cleared to throw in March, roughly four months later.
What to watch: Watch whether Penix receives medical clearance to expand his participation before Week 1.
