Falcons Forced to Start Tua | NFL News
Description
The Falcons may be forced to start Tua Tagovailoa at quarterback to open the season, as Michael Penix Jr. remains sidelined recovering from his third major knee surgery. Despite a lackluster preseason debut, Tua’s extensive first-team reps and immediate readiness give him an edge over Penix, who’s not yet cleared for full team drills. With less than four weeks until kickoff, Atlanta must balance short-term wins with long-term evaluation — using Tua as a temporary placeholder while assessing Penix’s recovery and potential.
