Falcons Get Look at QB Competition as Broncos Impress in Preseason Opener

In the Falcons-Broncos preseason opener, Tagovailoa’s limited action (3-of-5 for 22 yards over two series) offered a cautious start to Atlanta’s QB competition with Penix Jr. sidelined by an ACL injury. Kyle Pitts fed off the opportunity with three catches for 22 yards, while Denver’s depth showed solid play across its receiving corps. Broncos rookie Jonah Coleman flashed in the backfield, and Falcons backup Cooper Rush struggled (7-of-19, 62 yards, 2 interceptions) before undrafted Jack Strand (6-of-12, 50 yards) capped the effort with a 1-yard TD run. Denver fullback Adam Prentice scored the opening touchdown, and Payton even teased the Falcons crowd with a jab about empty seats at halftime. The game highlighted the path for Penix’s return and Denver’s early-depth signaling potential for 2026.

Tua’s Falcons preseason debut: two drives, two punts

Falcons quarterback Tua Tagovailoa had a quiet preseason debut vs. the Broncos, going 3 of 5 for 22 yards with a 70.4 passer rating and two punts on his two drives, including a fumbled shotgun snap he recovered. Michael Penix Jr. remains out and not yet cleared on the depth chart while he recovers from ACL. Atlanta opens the regular season Sept. 13 at Pittsburgh, a move linked to last season’s benching of Tua in Pittsburgh and the Dolphins’ decision to pay him over $50 million to join the Falcons.
