Falcons QB Michael Penix Jr. injured late in 30-23 loss to Ravens

The Atlanta Falcons suffered a 30-23 defeat to the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday, with starting quarterback Michael Penix Jr. leaving the game late due to injury. Penix was targeted in the ribs late in the match, which led to his replacement by Tua Tagovailoa in the overtime period. Tagovailoa was intercepted by Ravens safety Kyle Hamilton on his third pass attempt, ending the game.

Penix finished the game 19 of 32 on pass attempts, throwing for 240 yards, one touchdown, and a passer rating of 93.2. Despite the setback, it appears the injury was not too serious, as Penix returned for a single play before being shut down by the coaching staff. Head coach Kevin Stefanski will presumably provide more insight after reviewing the game. The extent of the injury remains unclear, as Penix did not enter the medical tent following the incident.
