What happened: Stefanski said Penix would split first-team practice reps Monday.
Why it matters: The decision will determine whether Penix gets live preseason work before Week 1. It also affects Atlanta's snap distribution in a dress-rehearsal game in which starters are expected to play.
By the numbers: Penix reached 11-on-11 clearance 26 days after a July 29 estimate that team drills could be four weeks away.
What to watch: The final quarterback rotation and any snap allotment for Penix are the next markers.
