FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. — The Atlanta Falcons have released their unofficial depth chart ahead of the team's Week 3 game against the Green Bay Packers (1-1) on Thursday Night Football.
Kickoff is scheduled for 8:15 p.m. ET inside historic Lambeau Field.
The main change on the depth chart from Week 2 to Week 3 is, of course, the ascension of Michael Penix Jr. into the starting quarterback role. As of now, Tua Tagovailoa is listed as Penix's backup pending his progression back to full-go from an oblique injury suffered in Week 1.
