The Atlanta Falcons' quarterback position has been a big question mark when looking ahead to the 2026 season. We know Michael Penix Jr. is the team's quarterback, but we don't know when he will be back from injury. However, maybe all of this will be resolved after hearing Penix Jr.'s update on his recovery. With Penix Jr. expecting to be ready for Week 1, the Falcons' options swing wide open. While Cousins' achilles tear was a more intensive recovery than Penix Jr.'s partially torn ACL, it will take time for him to gain confidence.
