Indiana QB Michael Penix leaves Penn State game with yet another injury

IU quarterback Michael Penix will require further tests on an injured left shoulder, after he left during the third quarter of Saturday’s game at Penn State.

Penix, a redshirt junior, suffered the injury as he was tackled trying to extend a third-down play. Team medical staff worked on the injured joint — Penix’s left is his throwing arm — for several minutes on the field before taking Penix to the Beaver Stadium visitors’ locker room.

It has been a stop-start season for Penix, who struggled mightily in losses to Iowa and Cincinnati before rallying to a superb performance at Western Kentucky.
