Falcons quarterback Michael Penix Jr. is expected to be available for full-team drills once training camp opens next month.
That will truly begin the competition between Penix and Tua Tagovailoa to be Atlanta’s QB1 to open the 2026 season under new head coach Kevin Stefanski.
But with the two QBs having been in the same room, working together for months, Penix told reporters on Tuesday that he has a solid relationship with the former Dolphins quarterback.
“It's been good. It's been nothing but good since he got here,” Penix said, via transcript from the team. “We know we’re in competition, but at the same time, we are on the same team. We have the same goals, and that's to see this team win football games and help do that in our way.
“Man, we've been good together, and it's always going to be like that.”
We’ll see how the relationship between the two lefty QBs continues to develop as the competition heats up over the summer.
