Michael Penix Jr. couldn't finish the Sunday Night Football loss to the Baltimore Ravens after getting drilled in the ribs late; he actually returned briefly after Tua Tagoviloa took the field for a single play but was in too much pain to return for overtime... Adam Schefter reports that it's a relatively minor rib injury—as minor as those get, given that they're not particularly fun to go through—and Penix may actually be able to start in Week 6.

Penix's rib injury deemed minor; Week 6 start possible pending practice evaluation

Michael Penix Jr. suffered a rib injury late in Sunday Night Football loss to Baltimore but Adam Schefter reports it is relatively minor; Penix may be able to start Week 6 vs. Chicago, though the team will be cautious and evaluate him in practice before confirming his availability. The source notes this is a relief given Penix has given the passing game a massive boost over the past three weeks, and a longer absence would have forced reliance on backup Tua Tagovailoa.
