Tua Tagovailoa returned from an oblique injury in Week 3 but did not regain Atlanta’s starting job; Michael Penix Jr. kept it. Penix threw for 256 yards and a touchdown in Thursday’s three-touchdown win over Green Bay, leaving Tagovailoa’s role uncertain.
Penix completed 18 of 25 passes and threw his touchdown to veteran tight end Austin Hooper after an interception on his second pass. The article also said Penix got Drake London more involved and that Bijan Robinson had more room to run as defenses respected the pass.
The article cites Penix’s three separate torn ACLs since he began college and says Tagovailoa could be called upon if Penix is unavailable. It raises a trade or release as possible paths, pointing to the Giants being without Jaxson Dart for the rest of the year and the Commanders not knowing how long Jayden Daniels will be out; no move involving Tagovailoa is reported.
