The Atlanta Falcons again are facing quarterback uncertainty after Michael Penix Jr. left Sunday night's 30-23 overtime loss to the Baltimore Ravens with a rib injury. Penix says he expects to play in this week's game against the Chicago Bears but says he'll put his health first. Coach Kevin Stefanski says he'll know more about Penix's status on Wednesday. Tua Tagovailoa replaced Penix and threw an interception in overtime that ended the game.

The loss left the Falcons with a losing record through five games. That's bad news for a team that hasn't had a winning season since 2017.
