Falcons QB competition delayed until Penix Jr is healthy

Falcons quarterbacks coach Alex Van Pelt stated there will be no competition between Tua Tagovailoa and Michael Penix Jr until Penix is fully healthy. Van Pelt emphasized that Penix must be able to perform all the tasks that Tagovailoa can in practice before a true battle for the starting job ensues.

This approach highlights the importance of Penix's full recovery in determining the team's quarterback hierarchy.
