Injury Update
Michael Penix Jr. suffered a rib injury late in the fourth quarter of Atlanta's loss to the Baltimore Ravens. The issue is not viewed as serious, though the team plans to monitor his condition during practice before confirming his status for the upcoming matchup against the Chicago Bears. The head coach avoided specifics on imaging results Monday but indicated more details could come by Wednesday.
Game Situation
Penix was sacked by Tavius Robinson while the score was tied. He remained on the field briefly before being helped off by a trainer. In overtime, Penix stayed on the sideline as the pain increased while he sat on the bench. The Ravens finished with a 30-23 victory after Tagovailoa threw an interception with 2:11 remaining in the extra period.
Offense Turnaround
Penix had recently returned from ACL surgery in Week 3. Atlanta scored a combined 16 points across the first two weeks with Cooper Rush under center. In Penix's first two games, the team posted a league-high 80 points.
