Falcons Delay QB Competition Until Michael Penix Jr. Is Fully Healthy

The Atlanta Falcons will not initiate a true quarterback competition between Tua Tagovailoa and Michael Penix Jr. until Penix is fully healthy. Quarterbacks coach Alex Van Pelt stated Monday that the team requires Penix to be capable of performing all the same practice drills as Tagovailoa before a formal battle for the starting role can begin.
