The Atlanta Falcons have placed quarterback Michael Penix Jr. on injured reserve following a significant knee injury sustained during a recent game against the Panthers. Sources indicate that Penix is expected to miss the remainder of the season, marking a troubling setback for a franchise that has now experienced a five-game losing streak. In the game, Penix limped off the field after an awkward hit and was later replaced by Kirk Cousins. The team is now facing uncertainty as both Penix and wide receiver Drake London were injured, further complicating their season prospects. Head coach Raheem Morris expressed heartbreak over the situation as the Falcons navigate their latest challenges on the field.
