Cooper Rush to Start as Falcons’ Week 1 QB Tua Tagovailoa Is Out
Week 1 shaping up as a quarterback shuffle: Tua Tagovailoa is ruled out for the Falcons with an oblique injury, Michael Penix Jr. is also out, and Cooper Rush is expected to start against the Steelers. Steelers corner Joey Porter Jr. is questionable, while several Falcons players are listed as out or limited, setting the stage for Rush’s potential extended duties depending on Penix/Tagovailoa updates.
