Slated for QB2 duties in Week 6 With Michael Penix (ribs) cleared to play Sunday against the Bears, Tagovailoa will handle backup duties for the Falcons.

Impact Tagoavailo replaced an injured Penix late last Sunday night against Baltimore and tossed the game-sealing interception in overtime to give the Ravens the win. The Falcons need Penix to maintain health this season, but he's shown little ability to do so early in his career, so there's a good chance Tagovailoa sees snaps again at some point in 2026.

Falcons are facing more quarterback uncertainty after Penix injures rib in overtime loss

The Atlanta Falcons again are facing quarterback uncertainty after Michael Penix Jr. left Sunday night's 30-23 overtime loss to the Baltimore Ravens with a rib injury

OCTOBER 12 • Associated Press

Picked off in OT after Penix injury Tagovailoa completed two of three passes for 34 yards and an interception in relief of Michael Penix (ribs) in Sunday's 30-23 overtime loss to the Ravens.

Impact Penix was shaken up after taking a big hit on the final drive of regulation. Tagovailoa came in for one play and completed a 14-yard pass to Bijan Robinson before Penix checked back in and threw an incomplete pass. Penix was unable to continue playing in overtime, so Tua was tasked with the tall order of trying to lead a touchdown drive in less than three minutes after the Ravens chewed up the first 7:03 of OT on a drive that resulted in Baltimore's go-ahead touchdown. Tagovailoa completed a 20-yard pass to Drake London but promptly threw the game-losing interception on the next play. If Penix is unable to play in Week 6 against the Bears, Tagovailoa would get a chance to make his first regular-season start as a member of the Falcons after posting a 44-32 record in 76 regular-season starts with the Dolphins.
