Falcons QB Michael Penix (knee) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Dolphins. He was limited in practice all week and reportedly has a good chance to be back for next Sunday’s game vs. the Dolphins. QB Kirk Cousins makes his first start of the season today. He crumbled down the stretch last year, eventually getting benched for Penix. The matchup against a leaky Dolphins pass defense helps Cousins' QB2 case, but he'll be without top WR Drake London.
