The Falcons have named QB Michael Penix Jr. the starter for Thursday night's game against the Packers. We passed along word Sunday that this might be the case, and the team confirmed it Monday. Atlanta started Cooper Rush the first two games after Tua Tagovailoa went down with an oblique injury.
The Falcons expect QB Michael Penix Jr. to be ready at some point during training camp, according to NFL Network’s Cameron Wolfe. Penix aggravated a bone bruise and knee sprain and sustained damage to his ACL in Week 11's loss to the Panthers on November 16th. A recovery for training camp would place him back in action about eight months after the injury.
Falcons QB Michael Penix will undergo surgery on his ACL next week, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. Penix's recovery is expected to take about nine months, which will push into August. That means Penix will miss all of the offseason program and at least some of training camp. HC Raheem Morris admitted this week that the team will need to address the QB position this offseason. "You definitely have to go out and make some different plans when you talk about the offseason, but we'll talk about that and address that when we get there," Morris said. The Falcons don't have a first-round pick in the 2026 draft after trading it to the Rams to move up for EDGE James Pearce Jr.
