Olamide Zaccheaus Named Falcons Emergency Quarterback

Falcons WR Olamide Zaccheaus will serve as the emergency third-string quarterback for Sunday's season opener against the Steelers. With Tua Tagovailoa (oblique) and Michael Penix Jr. (knee) inactive, Cooper Rush starts backed by undrafted rookie Jack Strand. Zaccheaus, who has never thrown an NFL pass, is also third on the running back depth chart behind Bijan Robinson and Brian Robinson, providing crucial versatility amid roster upheaval.
