In a significant move ahead of their matchup against the Miami Dolphins, the Atlanta Falcons have announced that Kirk Cousins is set to start as quarterback. This decision comes as Michael Penix Jr. will miss the game due to a knee injury. Both Penix and top wide receiver Drake London have been ruled out, leading to Cousins entering the game as the lead player. The Falcons promoted Easton Stick from the practice squad to back up Cousins, indicating potential adjustments in their roster as they prepare for the game.
