What happened: Penix said he was a little sore after last week's game. He added that being back on the field felt good after the return to action.

Why it matters: For Atlanta, any health update on Penix matters after his return from an injury absence last week. A soreness update without a negative turn keeps the focus on workload and availability heading into the next game.

What to watch: The next practice report will show whether the soreness affects his workload. Atlanta's upcoming injury designations should give the clearest read on his status.
