Latest injury updates after Falcons' QB Michael Penix Jr. leaves game vs. Panthers

If you thought the Atlanta Falcons were already dealing with the injury bug, Week 11 just added salt to the wound. Just moments after Darnell Mooney returned to the game after suffering a rib injury, quarterback Michael Penix Jr. got shaken up after injuring his left knee after taking a brutal hit.

Penix was able to walk off the field in his power, but quickly made his way to the blue medical tent. After the second-year quarterback exited the medical tent, veteran backup Kirk Cousins was seen putting his helmet on, meaning that Penix might not be ready to return to action just yet.
