Yahoo Sports NFL on Michael Penix Jr.

Penix must prove Week 1 readiness against Tagovailoa in crucial practice week.

The source frames Monday's practice as fundamentally important for Penix to prove that his mental reps and limited physical participation in practice have prepared him to start Week 1. His status as QB1 remains contested with Tua Tagovailoa, who will also be competing to prove he should be the starter regardless of Penix's medical clearance. The quarterback depth chart situation is complicated by injury histories of both Penix and Tagovailoa, making the QB3 spot (between Cooper Rush and Jack Strand) critically important.
