The Atlanta Falcons have signed a former Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback and highly-touted second-round pick following the latest Michael Penix Jr injury update.
On Monday, it was reported that the Falcons feared a season-ending knee injury for Michael Penix, who left Sunday’s game against the Carolina Panthers. Unfortunately, the Falcons received confirmation that Penix will need surgery and is done for the season.
Kirk Cousins wil return to starting quarterback duties, but the Falcons have made another interesting QB move with Penix done for the season.
Per Ari Meirov of The 33rd Team, the Falcons have signed former Buccaneers signal-caller Kyle Trask to their practice squad. The No. 64 pick of 2021 spent four seasons as a backup in Tampa before he was released in August.
Trask was viewed as a potential succession plan to Tom Brady, but Baker Mayfield went on to revive his career in Tampa after signing there in 2023. Trask has appeared briefly in seven NFL games, completing four of 11 pass attempts.
Michael Penix’s Injury Is A Gut Punch To The Falcons

The Falcons haven’t gotten much of anything going this year, though Penix Jr., Drake London and Bijan Robinson showed plenty of promise on offense together. With Penix out for the season, however, there’s little for Falcons fans to get excited about.
Remember, Atlanta owes its 2026 first-round pick to the Los Angeles Rams after moving up for James Pearce Jr. Now, Atlanta fans can only hope that Cousins will regain his Pro Bowl form and lead them to a strong finish.
Kirk Cousins was the subject of trade rumors leading up to the deadline, but the Falcons kept him on as an insurance policy behind Michael Penix. If Cousins finishes the season on a high note, he’ll only help his chances of earning a starting job elsewhere in 2026.

A shockwave ripped through Detroit when Alec Baldwin torched Jesse Watters during a live panel — mocking him, interrupting him, and even calling him “stupid” on-air. The room went silent. The clips went viral. And within hours, Baldwin’s world collapsed: five major sponsors gone overnight, wiping out an estimated $86 million in deals. But the real explosion hit when Watters fired back — a sharp, controlled strike that insiders say “changed the tone instantly.” Sources now confirm Baldwin is staring down a possible $50 million lawsuit — a legal hit that could eclipse the career damage entirely. Industry execs are calling this “one of the most aggressive responses Hollywood’s seen in years,” with political media circling the story like blood in the water. The backlash isn’t slowing, the stakes keep rising, and Baldwin’s team is scrambling to contain a fire that’s already blown past containment. This isn’t a feud anymore — it’s a full-scale meltdown with real consequences.
