Michael Penix Jr. Full Participant in Falcons Thursday Practice

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Penix Jr. was a full participant in practice on Thursday as he continues to make progress in his recovery from a torn ACL suffered in Week 11 of the 2025 season. Head coach Kevin Stefanski noted a positive progression in Penix's workload and declined to rule him out for Sunday's Week 2 matchup against the Carolina Panthers, though the team could still start Cooper Rush.
