HEMPSTEAD, N.Y. -- Jets quarterback Chad Pennington was excused from practice Thursday for personal reasons and his status for this weekend's preseason game against Washington is uncertain.

Coach Eric Mangini said Pennington left because of a family illness. He wouldn't say whether Pennington would travel to Washington with the team Friday or play against the Redskins on Saturday.

When asked whether they were preparing to play without Pennington, Mangini said: "We're always preparing for the different contingencies that come up. We'll follow it closely and adjust accordingly as we go."

Pennington, coming off a second major shoulder injury, is in a four-way competition for the starting job with Patrick Ramsey, Kellen Clemens and Brooks Bollinger. Though Mangini hasn't announced a starter, Pennington appears to be the favorite to win the job.

We should get a healthy dose of Ramsey on Saturday.

More likely, he saw some game tape from last week and thought that it might not be a good idea to test that shoulder this week

His "uncle" is having rotator cuff surgery perhaps.
