Kirk Cousins is getting his first start of the 2025 NFL season after normal starter Michael Penix Jr. suffered a knee injury.
El quarterback de los Falcons de Atlanta, Michael Penix Jr., se perderá el partido del domingo contra los Dolphins de Miami después de ser catalogado como cuestionable debido a una contusión ósea en su rodilla izquierda.
Cousins is 'highly likely' to start Atlanta's Week 8 game against the Dolphins, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.
Penix is inactive for the game and Kirk Cousins will make the start for the Falcons. It will be Cousins’ first start since he was benched in favor of Penix after Week 15 of the 2024 season. Easton Stick is active as the No. 2 quarterback.
The Atlanta Falcons will likely be without quarterback Michael Penix Jr. on Sunday as the team faces the Miami Dolphins at home.
With Penix Jr. nursing a bone bruise in his left knee, a decision on the starter won't officially be made until Sunday.
