Overview
- Michael Penix Jr. exited the Week 11 overtime loss to the Panthers with a left knee injury and did not return as Atlanta fell to 3-7.
- Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero report the injury is believed to be an aggravation of Penix’s prior left-knee bone bruise, with more evaluations forthcoming and concern he could miss games.
- Head coach Raheem Morris said the team will prepare Kirk Cousins to start in Week 12 against the Saints if Penix is unavailable.
- Cousins went 6-of-14 for 48 yards in relief Sunday and previously started the Week 8 loss to the Dolphins when Penix was out with the same issue.
- Top receiver Drake London left late with a knee injury that is not believed to be major, according to Rapoport, with further testing expected.
