The Atlanta Falcons’ quarterback competition is on hold as Tua Tagovailoa recovers from a minor injury described as a “flare-up” by coach Kevin Stefanski. Although Tagovailoa will attend training camp, he won’t participate immediately. The Falcons have released veteran Trevor Siemian and signed Cooper Rush, who has significant NFL experience. Rush will share practice snaps with Michael Penix Jr. and rookie Jack Strand. Penix, recovering from an ACL injury, will engage in individual drills, with no set date for his return to full practice. Stefanski expressed confidence in Penix’s recovery plan, emphasizing trust in the medical team.
