The Falcoholic • • sports
Key Points:
- Falcons head coach Kevin Stefanski expressed no frustration over the uncertain quarterback situation, emphasizing the team's focus on winning regardless of who plays.
- Cooper Rush is expected to practice fully but will remain on the injury report due to ongoing back treatment, while Tua Tagovailoa is not practicing yet but is improving.
- Michael Penix continues to progress without a clear timetable for returning as the starter, and Stefanski did not rule out any quarterback for the upcoming Week 2 game against the Panthers.
- Running back Bijan Robinson noted the challenge of game planning with uncertainty at quarterback, especially with differing throwing hands among potential starters, but remains focused on contributing to the team's success.
- Despite the quarterback uncertainty, the Falcons aim to prepare thoroughly this week, with expectations leaning toward Cooper Rush starting against Carolina, though a surprise start by Tua or Penix remains possible.
