Penix's Return to Rattle the Falcons' QB Quagmire The Atlanta Falcons' quarterback situation has been a delicate balancing act since Week 1. Michael Penix Jr.
, the team's preferred starter, is closing in on his return from a torn ACL and could potentially play as soon as Thursday night against the Green Bay Packers.
Penix's impending arrival raises questions about Tua Tagovailoa's future with the team. Tagovailoa is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Carolina Panthers and faces an uncertain fate beyond that.
