Penix Focused on Knee Recovery, Not Timeline

Michael Penix Jr. remains focused on his rehabilitation from a torn ACL suffered in November, telling reporters he feels improvement daily but has no set date for medical clearance. The Falcons' quarterback competition hasn't truly begun as Penix hasn't been fully cleared to participate. sport-ipl.my

While originally expected to be cleared in late August, Penix stated he could be cleared 'any day' but emphasized his priority is getting back on the field rather than competing for the starting job. 'I can't worry about a starting job until I'm worried about getting back on the field,' Penix said, noting he has no scheduled re-examination date with his doctor yet.
