Michael Penix Sidelined by Knee Injury at Falcons Camp

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Penix is sidelined for the start of training camp due to a knee injury related to his November ACL surgery. Head coach Kevin Stefanski confirmed Penix will not participate in 11-on-11 drills, with medical staff noting he remains one month away from full recovery. His absence, combined with Tua Tagovailoa's back injury, has forced the Falcons to adjust their quarterback evaluation and sign Cooper Rush for depth.
