Kirk Cousins, Michael Penix Jr. Stout at Atlanta Falcons Training Camp

FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. — The spotlight has been on Atlanta Falcons quarterbacks Kirk Cousins ​​and Michael Penix Jr., and during Friday’s training camp practice at IBM Performance Field, both passers turned in solid performances.

Cousins ​​made 15 of his 16 aerial shots in various 11-on-11 sessions, but only four of his attempts came against the Falcons’ first-team defense. He still made all four of his attempts, though, and his surgically repaired right Achilles tendon showed no signs of trouble.

Penix, meanwhile, completed 7 of 12 passes, but three of his incomplete passes were well-placed throws. Tight end John FitzPatrick had two drops while receiver Rondale Moore failed to catch what may have been Penix’s best throw of the day, a 55-yard dart down the left sideline that hit Moore’s hands but fell incomplete.

Additionally, Penix worked with the third-team offense and faced Atlanta’s starting defense, which created a particularly noticeable disadvantage at the line of scrimmage.
