Penix missing full-duty offseason work gives Tua a leg up when the competition inevitably gets underway. However, the club has insisted that come training camp, Penix will be on equal footing.
Coach Kevin Stefanski deflected when asked if Penix would be cleared when the Falcons hold their mandatory minicamp practices next week.
“He’s hitting every milestone that he’s supposed to hit,” Stefanski said. “We’re in constant communication with our medical team and Mike, and I think he’s doing everything he can do and certainly when he may want to do more, we have to hold him back from certain things potentially. But not going to put any time frames out there just yet, just going to focus on what’s in front of us.”
If Penix isn’t ready for full team drills next week, then the highly anticipated QB competition in ATL will have to wait for training camp in July.
