I’m not going to lie to you: This weekly feature has been a lot more interesting to write in years past. In 2024, I’ll settle for not having much to say about rookies who are either mothballed or barely featured if it means the Atlanta Falcons are winning, though.
QB Michael Penix
With Kirk Cousins playing much better football, the furor for Penix ought to die down. We won’t see him this year so long as Cousins is healthy.
DL Ruke Orhorhoro
With a largely veteran defensive line out there and the Falcons somehow even struggling to find playing time for the very promising Zach Harrison, Orhorhoro was inactive again.
