Michael Penix Set For ACL Surgery

Falcons QB Michael Penix will undergo surgery on his ACL next week, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. Penix's recovery is expected to take about nine months, which will push into August. That means Penix will miss all of the offseason program and at least some of training camp. HC Raheem Morris admitted this week that the team will need to address the QB position this offseason. "You definitely have to go out and make some different plans when you talk about the offseason, but we'll talk about that and address that when we get there," Morris said. The Falcons don't have a first-round pick in the 2026 draft after trading it to the Rams to move up for EDGE James Pearce Jr.
