Availability
Tua Tagovailoa (oblique) won't practice for the Falcons on Wednesday.
Fantasy Impact
Tagovailoa is going to miss Atlanta's first practice of the week on Wednesday. That's a bad sign for his availability for Week 2, and if he doesn't return to practice on Thursday, it looks like we will either get another week of Cooper Rush or Michael Penix Jr. (knee) will make his season debut against the Panthers. The team is not yet sharing details on their quarterback plan for this week's game or for Wednesday's practice, so this is a situation worth monitoring throughout the week for fantasy managers.
Falcons head coach Kevin Stefanski did not have any updates on Monday regarding the team's quarterback situation.
Fantasy Impact
Tagovailoa was not available in Sunday's loss against the Steelers. The status of both him and Michael Penix Jr. will need to be monitored in practice throughout the week.
Falcons QB Tua Tagovailoa has been ruled out for Sunday's season opener against the Steelers.
Fantasy Impact
Tagovailoa went down in practice on Thursday and did not practice on Friday. With Michael Penix Jr. not available yet, it will be Cooper Rush drawing the start on Sunday.
Tua Tagovailoa (oblique) was not seen practicing for the Atlanta Falcons Friday.
Fantasy Impact
Tagovailoa remains day-to-day after exiting practice early Thursday with the injury. With Michael Penix Jr. (knee) still working back from injury also, veteran Cooper Rush is in line to start for head coach Kevin Stefanski against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Sunday’s season opener.
Tua Tagovailoa (oblique) has been labeled day-to-day after suffering an oblique injury on Thursday during practice. Cooper Rush took first team snaps in his stead.
Fantasy Impact
This isn’t a great indicator of Tua’s status for Sunday, but it might not change much if Rush starts given the reports of Tua’s play during training camp. It will be a situation to monitor ahead of Sunday, and it also speaks to Michael Penix’s health, given he was not first up behind Tua at practice at this point.
