"I'm not really chasing a timeline. I'm just chasing trying to be better every day," Penix said, noting that he could be cleared "any day" though he doesn't have a scheduled date for re-examination by his doctor. "I can't worry about a starting job until I'm worried about getting back on the field," Penix added, emphasizing that his focus is solely on getting healthy.
