QBs Kirk Cousins and Michael Penix Jr. are ahead of Heinicke on the Falcons' depth chart.

Atlanta Falcons QB Michael Penix Jr. worked with the backups during minicamp while veteran QB Taylor Heinicke worked with the first team. Starting QB Kirk Cousins (Achilles') is still recovering from an Achilles' injury and did not take part in camp.
Huddle Up: We knew it on draft day, and we still know it now. Penix is ticketed for the bench this year and probably beyond, leaving him exclusively with value in keeper formats for patient owners.
