The #Falcons could have a full and healthy QB room by this week, as QB Michael Penix Jr could start as early as Thursday Via @RapSheet on X

What happened: RapSheet and Adam Schefter reported Atlanta could have a full, healthy quarterback room this week, with Michael Penix Jr. in line to start as early as Thursday. The possible return would put Penix in consideration for the Falcons' next game against Green Bay.

Why it matters: The update suggests Atlanta's quarterback picture may be settling after Penix logged another full Falcons practice in his ACL return earlier this week. A Thursday start would mark a meaningful step from practice availability to game consideration.

By the numbers: Atlanta is 2-2 this season, averaging 17.8 points scored and 16.2 allowed per game.

What to watch: Watch for the Falcons' next quarterback update before Thursday's game against Green Bay. That will determine whether Penix's status moves from possibility to a formal starting plan.
