STACKED’s take

Negative signalInjury

Penix sacked late, limited in OT as Falcons turned to Tua in tied game.

Penix was sacked by linebacker Tavius Robinson with 27 seconds left in the fourth quarter with the score tied in Sunday Night Football between the Falcons and Ravens; he stayed down briefly but walked off under his own power. In overtime, Tua Tagovailoa got his first reps, throwing an interception. Penix acknowledged post-game that he was not where he needed to be to help the Falcons win in that moment, suggesting injury concerns limited his availability in a critical game situation.
