The Atlanta Falcons got bad news on Monday morning, when it was reported that their talented young quarterback Michael Penix Jr. likely suffered a season-ending knee injury. Penix is getting additional opinions on his knee, but one thing is already clear, the injury is significant enough to have the Falcons concerned. Beyond the results of this season, it’s never good to lose a player to a significant injury, especially a player with the injury history Penix has.
Penix’s injury history has come up since the report of his latest injury, with some people speculating if the new knee injury occurred on the same knee that the quarterback tore his ACL twice in college.
