Falcons QB Michael Penix Jr. Continues His Rehab From ACL Surgery During Trip Back to Indiana

Penix has been limited to individual and 7-on-7 drills while the Falcons wait for medical clearance that could affect their quarterback competition.

  • Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Penix expects to meet with his doctor today to seek clearance for full-team participation, a critical milestone in his recovery from ACL surgery.
  • Recovery from a third ACL surgery has limited Penix to individual work throughout training camp, preventing him from participating in full-team periods where he could compete directly.
  • The planned quarterback competition between Penix and Tua Tagovailoa remains stalled, as Tagovailoa has handled nearly all starting 11-on-11 repetitions while the Falcons await Penix's full participation.
  • During joint practices with the Indianapolis Colts this week, Penix remained focused on development, stating, "I want to take advantage of every rep I get" despite limited opportunities.
  • Quarterbacks coach Alex Van Pelt acknowledged in June that a true competition requires Penix's full participation, leaving the team's depth chart unsettled heading into the preseason.
