FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. — Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Penix Jr. expects to play Sunday, when the team hosts the Miami Dolphins at Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
Penix spoke about his potential game-day status Wednesday after he appeared on Atlanta’s first injury report of the week as limited due to his left knee.
Penix limped back to the huddle after a hit late in Sunday night’s 20-10 road loss the San Francisco 49ers and said after the game he “got rolled up on.” Falcons head coach Raheem Morris said Monday that Penix had soreness and “definitely some limitations.”
The Falcons (3-3) only had a walk-through practice Wednesday in preparation for the Dolphins (1-6), so the injury report estimated players’ availability if there had been a live practice.
“I feel good right now,” Penix said. “Obviously at the end of the game, I did get up a little bit slow, but I feel good and continue to get better each and every day, and just making sure I’m monitoring it the right way, but I do feel good.”
