Falcons Fear Season-Ending Knee Injury for Michael Penix Jr.; Drake London Diagnosed With PCL Sprain

Atlanta is preparing Kirk Cousins to start pending Penix’s second opinion.

Overview

  • ESPN reports Penix suffered a potentially season-ending left-knee injury and will seek a second opinion after exiting Sunday’s 30-27 overtime loss to the Panthers.
  • Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero report the injury is believed to be an aggravation of the same left-knee bone bruise that already cost Penix one game earlier this season.
  • Head coach Raheem Morris said the team will ready Kirk Cousins to start next week; Cousins went 6-of-14 for 48 yards in relief on Sunday.
  • Rapoport reports Drake London sustained a PCL sprain and is expected to miss at least one game after leaving late; he had been slated for an MRI to confirm severity.
  • Before departing, London logged 7 catches for 119 yards, and the defeat dropped Atlanta to 3-7 with a fifth straight loss heading into Week 12 at New Orleans.
