Penix will be making his 13th career start. He is 4-8 since being picked eighth by the Falcons in the 2024 draft.

Michael Penix is set to make his first start for the Falcons since last November when the team faces the Packers on Thursday night and the quarterback shared his excitement about that return during a press conference on Tuesday.

Over the past eight years, the lefty quarterback has been injury free only in Montlake.
