Is there a world where Penix could be the Week 1 starter? Stefanski: He and I are so focused on what's in front of us. Via @marcraimondi on X

What happened: Stefanski answered a question about Penix starting Week 1 by saying the two are focused on the work directly ahead. Penix has joined Atlanta's individual quarterback work while awaiting clearance for full team drills.

Why it matters: His availability will determine whether Atlanta has enough evaluation time before the opener.

What to watch: The next marker is clearance for team drills, followed by how Atlanta distributes first-team reps.
