Penix initially left for just one play before returning, but he was unable to go once the game extended into overtime, leaving Atlanta without its starting quarterback in the extra period.\n\nHead coach Kevin Stefanski said after the game there wasn't much of an update yet, noting the team would know more once they got imaging done on the injury. Penix himself said he expects to be ready for Week 6.\n\nFor a Falcons team already searching for consistency at quarterback, the timing is rough. Atlanta had appeared to be stabilizing before the loss, and now waits on further word about its starter's ribs heading into next week.","published_at":"2026-10-12T17:03:19.018988+00:00","source_count":4,"written_from":[{"outlet":"The Athletic","publisher":"The Athletic","title":"Michael Penix injured late in loss to Ravens, a potential fantasy football disaster","url":"https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7683742/2026/10/12/fantasy-football-michael-penix-injury/"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Michael Penix Jr. Gives Update on Rib Injury and What Comes Next","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/michael-penix-jr-gives-rib-114632133.html"},{"outlet":"CBS Sports","publisher":"CBS Sports","title":"Michael Penix Jr. injury: Falcons QB hurts ribs late in regulation on 'SNF,' says he'll be ready for Week 6","url":"https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/michael-penix-jr-injury-update-falcons-qb-ravens-bears/"},{"outlet":"Pro Football Talk","publisher":"NBC Sports","title":"Kevin Stefanski on Michael Penix's rib injury: We'll know more as we get imaging","url":"https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/kevin-stefanski-on-michael-penixs-rib-injury-well-know-more-as-we-get-imaging"}],"more_coverage":[{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Michael Penix Jr. injury update as Falcons QB exits 'Sunday Night Football' following big hit","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/michael-penix-jr-injury-falcons-034932757.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Michael Penix Jr. leaves late vs. Ravens after big hit; Tua Tagovailoa throws interception to seal Baltimore win in his place","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/breaking-news/article/michael-penix-jr-leaves-late-vs-ravens-after-big-hit-tua-tagovailoa-throws-interception-to-seal-baltimore-win-in-his-place-034809716.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Falcons' Michael Penix Jr. suffers rib injury late and Tua Tagovailoa finishes OT loss to Ravens","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/falcons-michael-penix-jr-suffers-040807370.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Falcons QB Michael Penix Jr. injured late in 30-23 loss to Ravens","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/falcons-qb-michael-penix-jr-035927929.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Kevin Stefanski on Michael Penix's rib injury: We'll know more as we get imaging","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/kevin-stefanski-michael-penixs-rib-042458082.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Michael Penix Jr. injured late vs. Ravens after big hit; Tua Tagovailoa throws OT interception his place to seal Baltimore's comeback win over Falcons","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/breaking-news/article/michael-penix-jr-injured-late-vs-ravens-after-big-hit-tua-tagovailoa-throws-ot-interception-his-place-to-seal-baltimores-comeback-win-over-falcons-041701516.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Kevin Stefanski comments on Falcons' loss to Ravens, Penix injury","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/kevin-stefanski-comments-falcons-loss-044955245.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Falcons’ Kevin Stefanski shares insight on Michael Penix’s status amid injury scare","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/falcons-kevin-stefanski-shares-insight-055449940.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Falcons QB Michael Penix Jr.’s injury update will have fans sighing in relief","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/falcons-qb-michael-penix-jr-061227934.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Michael Penix Jr. departs late with rib injury","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/michael-penix-jr-departs-rib-064238250.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"What Happened to Michael Penix Jr?
