Penix Focusing on Recovery, Not Timetable

Michael Penix Jr., who suffered a torn ACL in November, remains sidelined as he continues his rehabilitation. The Falcons' quarterback competition hasn't truly begun because Penix hasn't been medically cleared to participate fully.

Despite an original timetable that had him potentially cleared in late August, Penix told reporters he's not chasing a specific date. 'I'm not really chasing a timeline. I'm just chasing trying to be better every day,' he said. The quarterback noted he can't worry about a starting job until he's back on the field, adding, 'If I can't be on the field, how am I going to be the starter?' forestarrow.rest
