Atlanta Falcons backup quarterback Kirk Cousins is “highly likely” to start Sunday against the Miami Dolphins, sources told ESPN’s Adam Schefter on Saturday.
Michael Penix Jr. suffered a bone bruise in his left knee during last week’s 20-10 loss to the San Francisco 49ers. Coach Raheem Morris said Monday that Penix was considered day-to-day. Penix was limited in practice earlier this week and listed Friday as questionable for Sunday’s game.
“I’m really confident in our backup,” Morris said Friday of Cousins, according to ESPN’s Marc Raimondi.
