The Falcons' top wide receiver, Drake London, is inactive after he was added to the injury report on Saturday with a hip injury.
Though Penix said Wednesday he expected to play and coach Raheem Morris also expressed confidence in the second-year quarterback's ability to play through the injury, the move to place Penix on the inactive list was not a surprise. The Falcons elevated quarterback Easton Stick to the active roster from the practice squad on Saturday, providing an early indication the team believed it was necessary to add depth behind Cousins.
