Michael Penix Jr. was seen throwing at the Atlanta Falcons' rookie minicamp, indicating a strong recovery from his ACL injury. Fans are divided over the quarterback competition with Tua Tagovailoa, both having finished the previous season with similar passer ratings.
The Atlanta Falcons are wrapping up their rookie minicamp this weekend at their facility in Flowery Branch, Georgia, and a few veterans were in attendance. Aside from the three veteran tryout players, Falcons quarterback Michael Penix Jr. was spotted throwing the football at Saturday's camp session. Penix, who's working his way back from a partial ACL reconstruction, clearly is not taking the quarterback competition lightly. The team signed Tua Tagovailoa to a one-year deal for the veteran minimum, but the fans have been split over who will start this season. The two quarterbacks both finished the 2025 season with a passer rating of 88.5. Tagovailoa had the superior completion percentage, but Penix had a better touchdown-to-interception ratio. While Tagovailoa has the health advantage, Penix's presence at minicamp bodes well for his chances. Many assumed the third-year QB would be sidelined for the majority of training camp, but with two and a half months before camp starts, he may be close to 100 percent by then.
Here's how fans around the league reacted to Penix throwing at the Falcons' rookie minicamp over the weekend.

— Offszn! (@ATL\_4Real) May 10, 2026 There's roughly 70 more days before actual training camp. Things are trending much faster than the doubters kept saying. And that's because they aren't doctors and don't know anything about MPJs status. Just blowing smoke.
— Brad (@bbones2828) May 10, 2026 Yeah… Tua gonna have to learn bench this season… London ain’t gonna let him take Penix away from him if he’s already throwing this early!!!
