Miami Dolphins quarterback Chad Pennington(notes) had a third surgery on his right shoulder six weeks ago, which ended his season and some suspected his career.

But Pennington is planning on playing again in the NFL, according to the Miami Herald. He's apparently planning to be back next season but isn't predicting where he'll be until he gets some more information about how his shoulder handles the recovery process.

One major thing he has going for him is that the injury and surgery apparently caused no muscle damage. The 33-year-old has his sites set on March 1 being the date he can work out for any team.

Meanwhile, Pennington will have more time to devote to his 1st and 10 Foundation.

Sure, the Miami Dolphins are looking kind of lousy this season and the 6-2 New England Patriots are looking pretty good, but linebacker Jason Taylor(notes) apparently doesn't have any regrets about returning to the team he played for for a decade instead of heading to New England.

The Patriots wooed him last off-season after Taylor expressed his displeasure with playing for the Washington Redskins. Patriots owner Robert Kraft apparently talked Taylor up to the New England press and head coach Bill Belichick gave him a call, but Taylor chose Miami and is so happy with his choice that the Miami Herald is hearing that Taylor wants to come back next year and might even want to play for three more years.

What else is this 35-year-old guy going to do?
