Lachlan Cunningham / Getty Images NEW ORLEANS " Atlanta quarterback Michael Penix Jr. will undergo surgery in Los Angeles this week to repair the partially torn ACL in his left knee, and only after that procedure will the Falcons be able to begin determining a timeline for his return, head coach Raheem Morris said Monday.
