Falcons' Tagovailoa and Penix compete for starting quarterback job

Atlanta Falcons quarterbacks Tua Tagovailoa and Michael Penix Jr. are engaged in a competition for the starting position as training camp approaches at the end of July. Tagovailoa has gained an early advantage by participating fully in minicamp drills, while Penix continues to recover from ACL surgery. NFL.com analyst Eric Edholm noted Penix still has work to do, although he is progressing in his rehab. Both quarterbacks are expected to be evaluated more thoroughly during training camp, where Penix anticipates being cleared to participate in full drills. The Falcons will reconvene as players report at the end of July for training camp.
