Falcons QB Michael Penix (knee) is practicing in full for Week 1 against the Steelers.

09 September 2026

Falcons coach Kevin Stefanski has already said Penix will be inactive this week, so this does not alter Penix’s game status. That said, it is still good to see him practicing fully. The Falcons are rolling with QB Tua Tagovailoa to begin the year, but his starting stint may not last long.
