Pennington was hurt in the first quarter of a 22-17 loss to Buffalo on Sunday when he scrambled up the middle for a 12-yard gain. Rather than slid ing, he dived ahead and was hit from the right side by linebacker London Fletcher, who forced a fumble. Pennington continued playing, but his arm started to stiffen and he left the game in the fourth quarter after talking with coach Herman Edwards. The conversation took place after Pennington's last two drives ended with an interception and a 13-yard sack. Former Cowboys starter Quincy Carter will start Sunday against Baltimore. For the second straight year, the Jets (6-2) must play without Pennington, who signed a $64 million extension before the sea son started. Last year, he broke his left wrist in the preseason and missed the first six games. Without him, the Jets struggled and finished 6-10. "Compared to what I went through last year, this is some thing hard to take because I hate missing games and it's something I'm not used to as a starter," Pennington said. "But at the same time my cup's still half full, not half empty and I have a Jot of great expectations for our team."
