Atlanta Falcons head coach Raheem Morris doesn't appear to be in a rush to insert rookie quarterback Michael Penix Jr. into the starting offense and bench veteran Kirk Cousins.

Morris told reporters on Thursday that Penix will get the opportunity to start "when it's time," per ESPN's Marc Raimondi.

The Falcons are currently in the midst of a four-game losing streak with Cousins under center, sitting in second place in the NFC South standings with a 6-7 record.
