The Atlanta Falcons will look to secure their fourth win of the season when they host the Miami Dolphins at home on Sunday afternoon. While the Dolphins are just 1-6, the Falcons won't have starting quarterback Michael Penix Jr. under center. Penix has a bone bruise on his knee and is expected to miss today's game.
Tight end Kyle Pitts and wide receiver Darnell Mooney are good to go for Week 9 as well. Pitts was limited in practice this week due to an ankle injury, but he has yet to miss a game in 2025. Mooney has been banged up all season but appears to be getting healthy in time for the second half of the season.
Tua Tagovailoa threw a season-high four touchdown passes and the Miami Dolphins ended their three-game losing streak by dominating the short-handed Atlanta Falcons 34-10.
