Penix competing for Week 1 starter; cleared for full practice but faces uphill battle vs. Tua.

Penix is competing with Tua Tagovailoa for the Week 1 starter role; recently cleared for full practice after injury recovery. GM Ian Cunningham stated the Falcons want to see more from Penix in full practices before making a decision. Penix was held out of the preseason finale, suggesting caution about his readiness. The source believes Penix will eventually start but faces an uphill battle to win Week 1, needing to make significant strides to overtake Tua, who has reportedly 'helped himself' in recent practices. Penix has a fifth-year option decision pending in April that the new regime needs to evaluate.
