        Don't Trust All These Michael Penix TDs

        Falcons QB Michael Penix Jr. tossed 3 TD passes for the second straight game in Sunday's win over the 49ers. They accompanied a mere 213 yards on 25-of-34 passing (73.5% completions), a modest rate of 6.3 yards per attempt. It marked the third time this season that Penix has completed more than 70% of his throws and the fourth time he has supplied a passer rating of more than 100.

        Falcons QB Michael Penix (ribs) put in a full week of practice and is off the final injury report. He'll start Sunday's potential shootout vs. the Bears' 20th-ranked QB defense. Penix remains a shaky QB1 in a run-first offense, but he's a nice QB2 play this week.

        Falcons QB Michael Penix (ribs) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice. "I felt good today at practice," he said afterward. "MRI/scans were all positive ... made every throw today." Penix is on track to start this weekend's game vs. the Bears.

        Falcons QB Michael Penix is expected to start Sunday's game vs. the Bears, barring a setback with his rib injury, HC Kevin Stefanski said. Penix has ignited Atlanta's offense with efficient passing the past 3 weeks, completing 67.5% of his throws at 9.3 yards per attempt. His availability is good news for all of the Falcons' skill-position players, particularly WR Drake London.

        Falcons QB Michael Penix’s rib injury is not considered serious, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. Penix "might" be able to play vs. the Bears this weekend, "but the team wants to be cautious and see him practice this week" before deciding on his status. Penix's absence would leave Tua Tagovailoa under center. We'll keep you updated on the situation throughout the week.
