Tua Injury Status Revealed in NFL Rumors After Suffering Oblique Injury in Video at Falcons Practice
Bleacher Report • • sports
Key Points:
- Atlanta Falcons quarterback Tua Tagovailoa was limited in practice on Thursday due to an oblique injury and is considered day-to-day.
- Tagovailoa showed visible distress during practice but had previously dealt with minor back issues earlier in training camp and played in two preseason games.
- Cooper Rush took all first-team reps in practice Thursday, serving as Tagovailoa's primary backup, with Jack Strand third on the depth chart.
- If Tagovailoa is unable to play, there may be calls for undrafted rookie Jack Strand to start, though Rush has more NFL experience despite limited success.
- The Falcons' quarterback situation remains uncertain, but Tagovailoa's injury status will determine if the team needs to explore alternatives for Week 1.
