Key Points:
- The Falcons announced that Tua Tagovailoa is dealing with minor back tightness and may be out until next week, while Michael Penix Jr. remains not medically cleared.
- Trevor Siemian was released by the Falcons on Wednesday morning, prompting the team to add to their quarterback depth chart.
- Malik Rush was signed and is already participating in drills with the offense, with a chance to compete for a roster spot against Clayton Strand.
- Coach Kevin Stefanski expressed confidence in Penix’s rehab process and medical staff, suggesting Penix’s long-term return is not a concern despite current uncertainties.
- Given the injury history of Tagovailoa and Penix, the Falcons are likely to carry three quarterbacks on the active roster this season.
