Penix Jr. expected to take over as starter in October or sooner if Tagovailoa remains injured.

Michael Penix Jr. is expected to take over as the starter following Tua Tagovailoa's oblique injury. The source projects October as the ideal return timeline given his recovery process, with the possibility of an earlier start in the home opener against Carolina if Tagovailoa remains unavailable. The source notes that with extra preparation time after a Thursday night road trip against Green Bay, the timing could set up nicely for Penix Jr. to play in a hostile primetime environment against the Falcons' biggest rivals, and that his experience should prevent him from being overwhelmed.
