Atlanta Falcons

Kirk Cousins "highly likely" to start in Week 8
Penix dealing with bone bruise
By: Mike Krueger | Oct 25 2025, 8:47 am

ESPN Sources: Falcons QB Kirk Cousins is “highly likely” to start Sunday’s game vs. the Dolphins as Michael Penix Jr. recovers from a bone bruise to his knee. Penix was limited at practice all week and Cousins worked with the first-team offense, gearing up to start Sunday. (Adam Schefter on X)

FFToday's Take: Penix was limited in practice all week and remains Questionable on the injury report. The Dolphins represent a positive matchup for Quarterbacks so Cousins is in play as a QB2 option without the rushing floor. The Falcons should have a run-heavy gameplan against the Dolphins who have given up the most rushing yards to RBs in the league.
