Falcons' Tua Tagovailoa: Limited, could back up Penix in Week 3
Tagovailoa (ankle) was estimated as a limited participant in Monday's walk-through practice, Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com reports.
Earlier Monday, head coach Kevin Stefanski told Josh Kendall of The Athletic that Tagovailoa was "getting better" after missing the Falcons' first two games of the season due to the oblique strain. The quarterback appears to have backed up his coach's comments by getting upgraded to a limited listing on the practice report, but Tagovailoa could need to participate fully Tuesday or Wednesday to put himself on a path to play Thursday against the Packers. If he's available for the Week 3 contest, Tagovailoa will be relegated to a backup role after the Falcons named Michael Penix (knee) their starting quarterback, per Tori McElhaney of the team's official site.

Falcons' Tua Tagovailoa: Out for Week 2
Tagovailoa (oblique) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Panthers, Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com reports.
Tagovailoa was listed as doubtful for Sunday's contest and Cooper Rush was already announced as the starter, so it comes as little surprise that Tagovailoa will not suit up. It's unclear if Tagovailoa will miss any further action, but he and the Falcons will have a quick turnaround with the Falcons playing Thursday night in Week 3.

Falcons' Tua Tagovailoa: Doubtful for Sunday
Tagovailoa (oblique) is doubtful for Sunday's game versus the Panthers, Will McFadden of the Falcons' official site reports.
Tagovailoa likely will join Michael Penix (knee) on the sideline this weekend, while head coach Kevin Stefanski announced Cooper Rush as Atlanta's starting quarterback for a second straight week, per Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com. As for Tagovailoa, he hasn't been able to practice since sustaining a strained oblique Sept. 10, and he'll likely need to get back on the field in some capacity in order to put himself in a position to be available for next Thursday's road matchup with the Packers.

Falcons' Tua Tagovailoa: Absent from Friday's practice
Tagovailoa (oblique) isn't present for the start of Friday's practice, Daniel Flick of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
Tagovailoa's continued absence from practice makes him unlikely to play in Sunday's game against Carolina. Falcons coach Kevin Stefanski hasn't named his starter as of Friday morning, but it seems like either Cooper Rush or Michael Penix (knee) will get the nod, not Tagovailoa.

Falcons' Tua Tagovailoa: Officially sidelined Thursday
Tagovailoa (oblique) was listed as a non-participant for Thursday's practice., D. Orlando Ledbetter of BowTieSports.com reports.
Tagovailoa officially goes down as a non-participant for a second consecutive practice. He's likely to miss a second consecutive game to begin the season Sunday against the Panthers, though Tagovailoa has one chance left to practice before then. Michael Penix (knee) would get the nod Sunday if he's cleared to suit up and Tua isn't. Otherwise, Cooper Rush would make his second start of the season.

Falcons' Tua Tagovailoa: Sits out Thursday's practice
Tagovailoa (oblique) wasn't seen at Thursday's practice, Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com reports.
Tagovailoa seems to be trending toward a second consecutive absence to begin his Falcons tenure, though he still has one more opportunity to practice Friday prior to Sunday's game against the Panthers. Michael Penix (knee) and Cooper Rush have been splitting first-team reps. Rush started in the Week 1 loss to the Steelers, but Penix is likely to take over the starting job once he's deemed healthy enough to play.

Falcons' Tua Tagovailoa: Not practicing Wednesday
Coach Kevin Stefanski said Tagovailoa (oblique) won't take part in Wednesday's practice, Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com reports.
Tagovailoa missed the Falcons' Week 1 loss at Pittsburgh due to an oblique strain that he suffered in practice last Thursday. He hasn't practiced in the meantime, but he still will have two more sessions this week to mix into drills and potentially gain clearance to play Sunday against the Panthers. If Tagovailoa isn't able to do so and Michael Penix (knee) remains sidelined, Cooper Rush likely would be the Falcons' starting QB in Week 2.

Falcons' Tua Tagovailoa: Ruled out for opener
Tagovailoa (oblique) has been ruled out for Sunday's game at Pittsburgh, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.
Tagovailoa opened the week getting the call as Atlanta's Week 1 starting quarterback but ended it sidelined due to an oblique injury that he sustained during Thursday's practice. Coach Kevin Stefanski told Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com on Friday that Tagovailoa is "week-to-week," which would seem to suggest multiple DNPs are on the horizon for the QB. In any case, Tagovailoa will join Michael Penix (knee) in street clothes Sunday, while Cooper Rush gets the nod under center and Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com serves as his backup.
