Things just went from bad to worse for the Atlanta Falcons' injury front, and that all starts with Michael Penix Jr. It was previously reported that the second-year quarterback re-aggravated his knee injury and would miss some time, but we are finally aware of how much time he might be sidelined for.
The Dirty Birds can't seem to catch a break after Penix missed Week 8 due to a bone bruise in his knee, but ESPN's Adam Schefter just confirmed fans' worst fear. The 25-year-old suffered a potentially season-ending injury in the Week 11 loss to the Panthers, salting the wound of another gutting loss.
