Michael Penix Jr. may be option for Week 3
Falcons QB Michael Penix Jr. will likely start in Week 3 if cleared to play
The Atlanta Falcons and Carolina Panthers concluded their final practices of the week on Friday. Key injuries have been reported for both teams ahead of their Week 2 divisional game. For the Falcons, quarterback Michael Penix Jr. and cornerback Billy Bowman Jr. will miss their second consecutive game. Quarterback Cooper Rush is set to start for the Falcons as usual.
Brandon's All-Pro guard Chris Lindstrom, who has been recovering from a concussion, is still questionable for the match. On the Panthers' side, receiver Jalen Coker is fully participating despite an ankle issue. However, defensive tackle Bobby Brown III, who has a back injury, will not play.
