Falcons QB Michael Penix Recovering from ACL Surgery, Out Until August

Atlanta Falcons QB Michael Penix is currently on the roster but is working back from ACL surgery. The injury is expected to sideline him into August, creating further uncertainty for the Falcons' quarterback situation heading into the 2026 season. The team recently hired Kevin Stefanski as head coach, who will inherit a roster that also includes Kirk Cousins, who remains signed. Penix's recovery timeline makes him a question mark for early season availability under the new coaching staff.
