Falcons Beat Writer Projects Michael Penix as Starter Beyond 2026

Falcons beat writer Josh Kendall projects QB Michael Penix to remain the starting quarterback for the team in 2026 and beyond. This outlook comes after Penix made nine appearances last season, during which he suffered a partial tear of his left ACL. The expectation highlights the team's long-term confidence in the second-year signal-caller despite his recent injury history.
