From the episode
Michael Penix will get the start. As a result, you can pretty much... We still don't know what we're going to get from Penix, right? Like, first game, how healthy is he? Is there rust? Like, what's it going to look like? Now, the one thing I will say is we know it will look better than what it did with Cooper Rush.
STACKED’s take
NeutralProjection
Penix starts Week 3 but carries health and rust uncertainty.
Penix will start for the Falcons in Week 3 against the Packers, but significant uncertainty remains around his health, rust, and performance. The source notes that while Penix's output will likely improve over Cooper Rush's historically poor performance (interception every nine throws, 4-yard average target depth), there is still substantial uncertainty about what Penix will deliver in his first game action.
