I expect a healthy Penix to supplant Tua Tagovailoa sooner rather than later.

London, Robinson combine for 407 yards as Penix returns in rout of Packers
Falcons WR Drake London caught nine passes for 194 yards and RB Bijan Robinson ran 29 times for 194 yards and two touchdowns, adding two catches for 19 yards, in a 35-14 win over the Packers on Thursday night. QB Michael Penix Jr., back in the lineup after missing the first two games, went 18-of-25 for 256 yards with a touchdown and an interception, including 13-of-15 with a touchdown in the second and third quarters. London and Robinson are the first teammates with at least 190 yards from scrimmage in a road game since 1976. For Green Bay, WR Matthew Golden caught five passes for 100 yards and his first career touchdown, WR Christian Watson had seven catches for 96 yards and his fourth touchdown of the season, and QB Jordan Love went 28-of-53 for 312 yards with two touchdowns and an interception.
Penix's return should unleash Robinson against Packers' stout run D
Mike Spofford of Packers.com reports that Green Bay's run defense, which ranks second in the NFL allowing just 2.85 yards per carry, will face a stern test in Falcons RB Bijan Robinson on Thursday Night Football. Robinson has 155 rushing yards and 99 receiving yards through two games, but Atlanta's offense has been limited by backup QB play; starter Michael Penix Jr. is set to return from injury against Green Bay. Packers defensive coordinator Jonathan Gannon said of Robinson, "The offense is running through him, so we've got a big-time challenge... We've got to minimize him as much as we can." Linebacker Zaire Franklin called Robinson's change of speed "as good as it's gonna get in this league."
