Schefter: Falcons QB Michael Penix (knee) could be out for season

Nov 17, 2025

ESPN sources: Falcons QB Michael Penix suffered a potentially season-ending knee injury during Sunday’s loss to the Panthers.

Related players: Kirk Cousins

Fantasy Impact:

Schefter went on to say Penix will be seeking a second opinion, but it is not encouraging, according to his post. The Falcons have been disappointing and inconsistent this season and sit at 3-7. However they are three games back of first place Tampa Bay. Despite rumors, the team kept Cousins, and he'll at least give them a shot week to week. We still need to know more about Penix's injury, but it sounds like Cousins is at least poised to start in Week 11, which is a winnable game on the road at the Saints. Cousins may very well be the starter to close out the season as well, and he's worth a pickup, especially in deeper leagues and superflex leagues.

49ers QB Brock Purdy's toe 'felt great' in Week 11 return

Pro Football Talk

1 hour ago

49ers quarterback Brock Purdy made a successful return to the lineup against the Cardinals on Sunday.

“No, I didn’t even think about it, honestly, in the game or anything,” Purdy said, via 49ersWebzone.com about his toe injury. “At practice and everything, that’s where I tested it all out. I’m like, at practice, rolling out, ‘All right, do I feel it, do I not?’ No, I don’t, I feel great. And then come [game-time] when I warmed up and everything, I didn’t even think about it. It felt great. Throughout the game and stuff, I was able to do everything — scramble, keepers, roll-outs, step up in the pocket. I played quarterback.”

Purdy had been out since aggravating a toe injury in Week 4, but he didn’t show many signs of rust while completing 19-of-26 passes for 200 yards and three touchdowns in a 41-22 win. The 49ers took a cautious approach with Purdy’s return to minimize further issues with the injury, the story went on to say. The Niners look to be in good shape, hosting the Panthers this coming week and then traveling to Cleveland before a Week 14 bye.

NFL to review Jalen Ramsey and Ja'Marr Chase incident

The NFL will review the Jalen Ramsey-Ja'Marr Chase punching/alleged spitting incident.

Fantasy Impact:

Ramsey was ejected for punching Chase, but Ramsey said after the game Chase spit on him. There are some close-up views of what appears to be spit, according to Rapoport, but Rapoport also said the referee doesn't believe it got to that level. Of course, the Eagles Jalen Carter was ejected for spitting on Dak Prescott before the first snap of the teams game back in Week 1, so it's possible Chase gets a game suspension if it's found he did spit on Ramsey.

Falcons WR Drake London is not believed to have suffered a major knee injury during Sunday's loss to the Panthers.

Fantasy Impact:

London suffered the injury late in the fourth quarter. The Falcons went on to lose in overtime. London will find out Monday just how long he'll miss. It's the latest in what's become a nightmare season for the Falcons. Sunday was their 5th straight loss to drop to 3-7 and Michael Penix Jr. also was banged up in the game and Kirk Cousins had to step in.
