Penix Ready? Not Yet for Steelers | Sports News

Michael Penix Jr. is cleared to practice fully but remains ruled out for the Falcons’ season opener against Pittsburgh — a decision driven by his own cautious assessment that he’s not yet game-ready after his third knee surgery. Despite medical clearance, Penix prioritizes full recovery over rushing back, with coach Stefanski fully supporting his choice. Tua Tagovailoa will start at QB, while Penix continues rehab, and fans speculate a possible return as early as Week Four — though the team’s priority remains patience to unleash his full potential later in the season.
