 The Miami Dolphins shocked the NFL world last season when they went from last to first, 1-15 to a division crown in one season.

A key contributor to the teams success was Chad Pennington, who last year won Comeback Player Of The Year.

The squad has not found the same luck in 2009, starting off the season at 0-3. However, today became the worst day of the season for the Dolphins, as their quarterback is on the shelf once again.

According to reports, Pennington has been diagnosed with a torn shoulder, and is reportedly out for the remainder of the season.

Pennington is familiar with this type of injury before, having multiple procedures done on the shoulder.

Chad Henne, a second year quarterback out of the University of Michigan, is expected to make his first career start.
