Atlanta Falcons will not start a quarterback battle between Tua Tagovailoa and Michael Penix Jr. until Penix is completely healthy. The quarterbacks coach said Penix must match Tagovailoa in all practice activities first.
The Atlanta Falcons are not ready to begin a true competition for the starting quarterback role. They will wait until Michael Penix Jr. recovers fully and can handle every practice task that Tua Tagovailoa performs. Quarterbacks coach Alex Van Pelt shared this plan on Monday. The team wants both players to compete on equal terms. Health comes first to ensure no one is at a disadvantage. This careful approach shows the Falcons value proper preparation over rushing decisions. Updates will come as Penix improves and returns to full action.
