Summary
Michael Penix Jr. said the ribs injury that sidelined him for overtime in Atlanta’s 30-23 loss to Baltimore is not expected to be a long-term issue.
19 seconds remained when Ravens pass rusher Tavius Robinson sacked Penix, forcing a fumble; Penix missed one play, returned for an incompletion, then stayed on the sideline through overtime.
Kevin Stefanski said Penix will undergo imaging Monday after trying to get comfortable on the bench but never reaching a point where he could re-enter.
Penix, in his third game back from last season’s torn ACL, finished 19 of 32 for 240 yards and a touchdown, while Tua Tagovailoa went 2 of 3 for 34 yards with a game-ending interception.
