Overview
- Penix has a bone bruise in his left knee from Week 7, was limited in practice all week, and is officially listed as questionable for Sunday versus the Dolphins.
- Cousins took significant first-team reps and is highly likely to start, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, positioning the veteran for his first start since last season’s benching.
- Atlanta promoted quarterback Easton Stick from the practice squad to the active roster to bolster depth ahead of the game.
- Morris reiterated confidence in Cousins but emphasized that Penix will only play if live practice shows adequate movement to protect the quarterback.
- Penix told reporters earlier in the week that he expected to play, while outside speculation suggests a strong Cousins performance could draw trade interest before Nov. 4.
