(Atlanta News First) &#8211; Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Penix Jr. and wide receiver Drake London are set to play in Sunday\u2019s Week 9 matchup against the New England Patriots.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">Both players missed the team\u2019s 34-10 loss to the Miami Dolphins, and have been trending upward in practice leading up to this Sunday in Foxborough.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">Penix was dealing with a bone bruise in his left knee suffered during the team\u2019s Week 7 game against the San Francisco 49ers, allowing Kirk Cousins to take over behind center against Miami. Cousins completed 21 of 31 passes for 173 yards and a disappointing 33.4 quarterback rating. <\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\"><b>RELATED: <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.atlantanewsfirst.com\/2025\/10\/29\/falcons-penix-london-both-day-day-going-into-game-against-surging-pats\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><b>Falcons\u2019 Penix, London both day to day going into game against surging Pats<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">Penix has completed 61% of his passes for 1,409 yards with five touchdowns and three interceptions thus far in 2025.

He missed last week\u2019s game against Miami due to a hip injury but is back in action, giving Penix a reliable target against a middling Patriots pass defense.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">Tight end Kyle Pitts (ankle) and wide receiver Darnell Mooney (hamstring) are also set to play.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">Cornerback Billy Bowman Jr. (hamstring), offensive lineman Storm Norton (foot), receiver Casey Washington (back) and defensive lineman Zach Harrison (knee) were all ruled out.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">Safety Jesse Bates III (knee) and edges Jalon Walker (groin) and Leonard Floyd (hamstring) were ruled as questionable for Sunday.<\/p>\n<p class=\"copyright |\">Copyright 2025 WANF.
