Falcons’ Michael Penix Jr. Faces Tough Reality in Competition with Tua Tagovailoa
Michael Penix Jr. is competing with Tua Tagovailoa for the Atlanta Falcons’ starting quarterback position while recovering from ACL surgery. Falcons quarterbacks coach Alex Van Pelt noted that Penix is behind in the competition since he hasn’t been cleared for full practice. Reports indicate Tagovailoa is favored to start in Week 1 against the Pittsburgh Steelers due to the uneven practice reps. Head coach Kevin Stefanski declined to provide a timeline for Penix’s full clearance but praised his progress. The coaching staff, unrelated to Penix’s drafting, seems to favor Tagovailoa for running the offense.
