Michael Penix Faces Competition from Tua Tagovailoa

Michael Penix (knee) faces competition for the starting quarterback role in Atlanta following the addition of Tua Tagovailoa. While Penix continues to rehab from his third ACL tear, Tagovailoa will receive a real chance to earn the starting job. The Falcons are also bolstering their receiving corps with Jahan Dotson and Olamide Zaccheaus to improve a passing offense that struggled significantly in 2025.
