Oblique injury leaves Falcons' Week 1 fate in flux, Rush ready if needed

Tua Tagovailoa exited Falcons practice with an oblique injury, and with the severity unclear, Cooper Rush stands by as the next man up. If Tua isn’t cleared for Week 1 vs. the Steelers, Rush would start with Jack Strand backing him, and Atlanta could add another veteran QB to the practice squad. Rush would be making his 17th career start, and the Falcons may lean conservative offensively, featuring Bijan Robinson, while updates on Tua’s status roll in.
