NBC Sports • • sports
Key Points:
- Falcons head coach Kevin Stefanski has not yet named a starting quarterback for Week 2’s game against the Panthers, indicating the decision will be made later in the week.
- Cooper Rush started in Week 1 due to injuries to Tua Tagovailoa and Michael Penix, with Tagovailoa still sidelined by an oblique injury and Penix recovering from a torn ACL.
- Rush is expected to practice despite back treatment, while Penix is cleared for full practice but has expressed he is not fully recovered.
- Stefanski did not rule out undrafted rookie Jack Strand as a potential quarterback option for the upcoming game.
- The Falcons face a Thursday night game in Green Bay following Week 2 before an extended break, adding complexity to their quarterback decision-making.
