Atlanta Falcons QB Tua Tagovailoa Leaves Practice with an Oblique Injury
- On Thursday, Atlanta Falcons quarterback Tua Tagovailoa was limited at practice due to an oblique injury after appearing in physical distress during individual drills.
- Falcons coach Kevin Stefanski named Tagovailoa the season starter earlier this week, though the quarterback previously missed training camp time due to lower back spasms ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
- Veteran quarterback Cooper Rush handled all first-team repetitions following the injury, while Michael Penix Jr. continues recovering from an ACL injury that ended his 2025 season.
- The Falcons officially listed Tagovailoa as a "limited" participant, providing no further updates on his status for Sunday's game against Pittsburgh.
- Undrafted rookie Jack Strand remains on the roster as the fourth quarterback, though an appearance against Pittsburgh seems unlikely as the team manages the health of both Tagovailoa and Penix.
