What happened: Atlanta has kept Penix out of 11-on-11 drills while he works toward full medical clearance. He underwent ACL surgery in November and received clearance to throw in March.
Why it matters: The restriction prevents Atlanta from evaluating him in live team periods as camp advances. Clearance for contact remains the key step toward full participation.
By the numbers: Penix completed 9 of 11 passes, or 81.8%, during 7-on-7 work Tuesday.
What to watch: The next benchmark is clearance for 11-on-11 drills and contact work. Atlanta has joint practices scheduled for Aug. 19-20.
