Bijan Robinson discusses Michael Penix's return to Falcons practice
Summary

Bijan Robinson expressed enthusiasm over Michael Penix Jr.'s return to 11-on-11 drills during practice for the Atlanta Falcons on August 26, 2026. Penix has recently been cleared following a serious knee injury, and Robinson commented on Penix's performance, noting he looked fast and comfortable. This comes as the QB competition heats up, particularly as Tua Tagovailoa has not met expectations. Penix's addition may provide a needed boost to the Falcons' offense. He will not participate in the preseason finale, leaving Tagovailoa an opportunity to solidify his starting role.
