Michael Penix is the new starting quarterback for the Atlanta Falcons, and it appears the team is ready to make the change for the rest of the 2024 NFL season.
The move came hours after Raheem Morris declined to name Kirk Cousins the starter, the kind of talk that generally precipitates a change. I wondered if we might hear about the move tomorrow with the team’s first practice of the week, but Atlanta was ready to make the move right now, and announced it Tuesday night.
Coach Morris has named Michael Penix Jr.
