Michael Penix Jr., the Atlanta Falcons' preferred starting quarterback, is nearing a return and could make his 2026 debut on Thursday night against the Green Bay Packers, according to ESPN insiders Ian Rapoport and Adam Schefter. Penix has been out the first two games as he recovers from a torn ACL, with former third-string quarterback Cooper Rush starting in his place. The Falcons may have considered all along that it'd be tricky for Penix to start twice in five days, but they prepared him for the possibility by having him split reps with Rush this past week.
