Michael Penix Jr. returning from ACL tear in Week 3 after Falcons’ embarrassment vs. Panthers
The Falcons named Michael Penix Jr. their starting quarterback for Thursday's game against the Packers after an 0-2 start that included a 34-3 loss to the Panthers. Penix is returning from an ACL tear suffered in Week 11 last season and had been cleared for full practice last month. Coach Kevin Stefanski had declined earlier Monday to confirm whether Penix would play.
