Michael Penix Jr.QB

Penix is inching closer to full clearance from ACL surgery but is still weeks away from 11-man work. The team does not yet know if he'll play in a preseason game. He completed four of eight passes in 7-on-7 work during the source's visit. Stefanski noted Penix doesn't look like a limited quarterback based on his movement, and he's done more than the team expected dating back to spring. The Falcons have acclimated him to more under-center work.
