Impact
With Penix set for season-ending surgery, Kirk Cousins will take over as the Falcons' new starting quarterback beginning with Sunday's game in New Orleans. Even though Penix's estimated nine-month recovery timeline would give him a chance to be ready to play by Week 1 of the 2026 campaign, head coach Raheem Morris acknowledged that Penix's medical history will likely prompt the team to make alternative plans at quarterback -- whether that's retaining Cousins or bringing aboard someone else -- this coming offseason as a safeguard. During his time in college, Penix previously underwent surgeries to repair the ACL in his right knee in 2018 and 2020, and he also had two other seasons end early due to shoulder injuries.

Needs procedure to repair ACL
The Falcons have confirmed that Penix sustained a partially torn ACL during the team's Week 11 loss to Carolina, but he will require full reconstructive surgery to address the inju...
Impact
Penix will face, at minimum, a nine month recovery timetable upon going under the knife, which will heavily restrict his ability to practice during the offseason, as well as potentially impact his availability for Week 1 of the 2026 campaign. He also aggravated the preexisting bone bruise in his left knee. The 2024 first-round pick underwent surgery to repair the ACL in his right knee twice during college, in 2018 and 2020, in addition to the season-ending shoulder injuries he suffered in 2019 and 2021. Kirk Cousins will lead Atlanta under center for the remainder of the 2025 season, and the team will doubtless enter the 2026 offseason with additional incentive to secure a capable backup option behind Penix.
