Atlanta Falcons Preseason Update: Penix Out, Agnew to Return Soon

The Atlanta Falcons are making strategic moves as they prepare for Friday’s preseason game against the Tennessee Titans.

Quarterback Michael Penix Jr. will not play in the matchup, head coach Raheem Morris announced. Morris also noted that the team will “talk about” the possibility of Kirk Cousins seeing action on Friday. The decision reflects the team’s cautious approach with its quarterbacks while still evaluating depth and readiness heading into the regular season.

Injury news comes from the receiving corps as Jamal Agnew will not practice this week. Morris says Agnew is expected back shortly, giving Falcons fans hope that their versatile weapon will return to action soon.

With Penix sitting out and Agnew temporarily sidelined, the Falcons will be leaning on their remaining skill players to get meaningful reps and fine-tune chemistry as preseason continues.
