The Facts:
GM Mike Tannenbaum hinted on Friday that Pennington won't be at full throwing strength for the first veterans' mini-camp. That's not until mid-June. By then, he will be eight months removed from surgery. A year ago, Pennington was throwing on a full-time basis six months after his first operation.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
According to Daily News staffer Rich Cimini, there are two ways to read this: Pennington, who began light throwing March 1, is proceeding with extreme caution or he's finding the rehab harder the second time around. Tannenbaum did say that Pennington is making "good progress," but he added, "Whether or not he plays is ultimately going to be a coaching decision." Pennington will battle recently acquired Patrick Ramsey in training camp.
