What happened: Kevin Stefanski said Michael Penix Jr. will practice in limited fashion ahead of Sunday's game against Chicago. Stefanski kept further injury detail private while noting Penix feels improved.

Why it matters: Atlanta opened with Tua Tagovailoa starting with Cooper Rush as backup after Penix was inactive for Week 1 at Pittsburgh. Getting Penix back for Chicago would settle the early quarterback rotation.

What to watch: Midweek participation and Sunday status are next. Final clearance depends on the week proceeding as planned.
