What happened: Marc Raimondi reported the designation. Atlanta faces Carolina after Penix also missed the opener, when Cooper Rush started with Tua Tagovailoa sidelined.

Why it matters: Rush took first-team reps this week. Stefanski called Penix's work a progression and said he feels confident in the plan.

What to watch: Watch the inactive list to confirm the quarterback order. Next week's practice reports will show whether Penix or Tagovailoa can return for Week 3.
