Tua Tagovailoa Sidelined for Week 1 Opener With Oblique Injury

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Tua Tagovailoa has been ruled out for Sunday's Week 1 matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers after suffering an oblique injury during Thursday's practice. Backup Cooper Rush will start in his place. Tagovailoa logged an average depth of target of 3.3 yards during preseason play, and head coach Kevin Stefanski expects the overall offensive game plan to remain consistent despite his absence.
