Penix: I'm just running my own race, just taking it day by day. ... There's no set day that, 'hey you're gonna be good.' Via @marcraimondi on X

What happened: Penix said he is taking his rehabilitation day by day and focusing on his own progress. He continues to work individually while awaiting clearance for full-team drills.

Why it matters: His clearance will determine when Atlanta can fully evaluate its quarterback competition. The Falcons added Cooper Rush after Tua Tagovailoa began managing a tight back.

What to watch: Atlanta's upcoming practices will show whether Penix's workload expands.
