Penix getting first-team reps; Stefanski prioritizing full-team integration.

Penix is getting reps with the first-team offense alongside starter Tua Tagovailoa in preseason preparation. Coach Stefanski's priority is getting Penix in the huddle with all 11 players, indicating the coaching staff is intentionally bringing him along in his development. The Falcons' starters are scheduled to play this week against the Miami Dolphins to close out the preseason.
