The knee injury quarterback Michael Penix Jr. sustained in the Atlanta Falcons' Week 11 overtime loss to the Carolina Panthers will sideline him for at least four of the remaining seven games on the 2025 schedule.
"Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Penix Jr. suffered a left-knee injury in Sunday's game against Carolina," the team said in a statement released Monday.
"We are working through the medical process to determine the severity of the injury. He will be placed on the reserve/injured list and miss a minimum of four games. With the move, Kirk Cousins will assume the starting quarterback role for the Falcons at this time."
Falcons head coach Raheem Morris is scheduled to address the media Monday at 3:55 p.m. ET. He did not have a postgame update on Penix’s injury.
