Michael Penix Jr. Throwing During Offseason Program
Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Penix Jr. (knee) was seen taking part in the team's offseason program on Tuesday at the team's facilities, six months removed from tearing his left ACL on Nov. 16 of last year in a game against the Carolina Panthers, reports ESPN's Marc Raimondi. Penix threw to receiver Drake London in Georgia. The 26-year-old former eighth overall pick out of the University of Washington in 2024 has suffered three torn ACLs in the last eight years after he tore his right ACL twice in college. With his availability for the start of the 2026 campaign this fall in question, Atlanta signed former Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa to a one-year, $1.3 million deal in March. The Falcons are on record as saying that Penix will compete with Tagovailoa for the starting gig under center when he's healthy this summer. Penix believes he'll be ready for Week 1 in early September, but the Falcons haven't been clear on a timeline for when the lefty will be back. Penix has disappointed in his two seasons in the NFL, completing 59.6% of his passes for 2,757 yards, 12 touchdowns, and six interceptions in just 14 games (12 starts). Durability concerns alone have caused Penix's dynasty fantasy value to plummet this offseason. He's currently ranked 27th at the QB position in dynasty formats at RotoBaller.
