From the episode

Michael Penix Jr. is dealing with as he's trying to work his way back from a torn ACL suffered in week 11. That is the third ACL tear he's had in seven years. There's a little bit more pressure on him, right, to get back because they brought in Tua Tunga-Vailoa. So Penix could be fighting for his starting job there.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalInjury

Penix fighting for job after third ACL tear in seven years; Tua brought in.

Penix is working his way back from a torn ACL suffered in Week 11, which is his third ACL tear in seven years; he was in a great mood during mandatory minicamp and said he'd be ready to go right now if they allowed him; however, there's more pressure on him to get back because the Falcons brought in Tua Tunga-Vailoa, meaning Penix could be fighting for his starting job; he was drafted by a prior regime and everyone involved in that pick is now out of the building with Kevin Stefanski coming in.
