Kirk Cousins is expected to start for the Atlanta Falcons in their upcoming matchup against the Miami Dolphins, according to sources cited by ESPN’s Adam Schefter. The decision comes as Michael Penix Jr. continues to recover from a bone bruise in his left knee, which has kept him out of the game. Penix’s injury has forced the Falcons’ coaching staff to look for alternatives, and Cousins has emerged as the most viable option.
The Falcons’ quarterback situation has been a topic of discussion throughout the season, particularly after Penix was drafted in the first round. His injury has raised concerns about the team’s stability at the position. However, with Cousins returning to the lineup, the team has a strong offensive option available. The Dolphins, on the other hand, will be looking to counter the Falcons’ offensive threat with their own game plan.
Coach Mike Caldwell has expressed confidence in Cousins’ ability to lead the team, citing his experience and leadership qualities. The game against the Dolphins is a crucial matchup for both teams, as it could impact their standings in the NFC South. Fans are now looking forward to the game, expecting a competitive showdown between two strong teams in the league.
