Negative signalInjury

Penix returns from knee injury Thursday; last chance to prove himself in Atlanta.

Penix is returning from a significant knee injury and will play Thursday night in Green Bay; this is described as his last chance in Atlanta—if he doesn't prove himself this year, he will not be the Falcons' starting quarterback and may be relegated to bouncing between teams as a backup.
