Thus, the rib injury that Penix suffered late in the fourth quarter of last Sunday's overtime loss to the Ravens is behind him. Through his three appearances this season, he's completed 52 of 77 passes (67. 5 percent) for 719 yards, three touchdowns and one interception.

Injury / practice: Penix (ribs) practiced without limitations again Thursday, Daniel Flick of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.RotoWireOct 15
Penix has faced no limitations in Atlanta's first two practices ahead of Sunday's game against the Bears, suggesting that he's good to go after subbing out late in this past Sunday's overtime loss to the Ravens, in which Tua Tagovailoa threw the game-losing interception in OT. The Falcons have scored 34. 0 PPG in the first two games of the season while Penix was wrapping up the rehab on his torn ACL.

Injury / practice: Penix (ribs) was a full practice participant Wednesday, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.RotoWireOct 14
Penix suffered a rib injury late in the fourth quarter of this past Sunday's loss to the Ravens, which didn't allow him to take the field for the Falcons' only possession of overtime. Head coach Kevin Stefanski told Marc Raimondi of ESPN. com that Penix was slated to be limited at Wednesday's practice, but afterward the quarterback himself relayed to Josh Kendall of The Athletic that he "made every throw out there" and is "good to go this week." Penix's subsequent full listing indicates as much, and he'll remain Atlanta's starting quarterback for Sunday's contest against the Bears.
