Michael Penix Jr. Cleared for Full Football Activities

After recovering from a torn ACL sustained last season, Michael Penix Jr. has been fully cleared for 11-on-11 work and all football activities. Head coach Kevin Stefanski confirmed the clearance following the team's 34-6 preseason win over the Colts. Penix is expected to return to practice Monday, officially intensifying the Falcons' quarterback competition with Tua Tagovailoa as the regular season approaches.
