Michael Penix Jr. injury update as Falcons QB exits 'Sunday Night Football' following big hit
Here are the latest updates on Michael Penix Jr., who exited the Falcons' Week 5 game against the Ravens with an injury.
In a Week 5 Sunday Night Football matchup against the Baltimore Ravens, Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Penix Jr. suffered an injury that forced him to exit the game. The incident occurred during the Falcons' final drive of regulation, when Penix was hit hard on a strip sack. Although he initially struggled to get up, Penix eventually jogged off the field under his own power.
Despite returning to the game after missing one play, an incomplete pass, Penix continued to receive medical attention on the sideline. He did not take the field during overtime. Instead, veteran backup Tua Tagovailoa stepped in, with Penix sitting on the bench wearing a towel draped over his head.
As of now, the Falcons have not provided an update on Penix's status following the injury. The story is expected to be updated further.
