Michael Penix awaits full clearance after knee surgery

Michael Penix continues to seek full medical clearance following knee surgery he underwent on November 25. The Falcons quarterback is currently watching team drills from the sidelines as he works on regaining strength in his left knee. He mentioned having a call with his doctor recently but is uncertain about the timeline for full participation. Penix has not yet engaged in the starting quarterback competition due to his recovery status, which his doctor advised would require an additional four weeks of caution. He expressed optimism that the time for getting involved with team activities will come soon.
