Tua Tagovailoa Misses Thursday Practice With Oblique Injury

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Tua Tagovailoa missed Thursday practice due to an oblique injury suffered last week, trending toward a second consecutive absence to start the season. With Tagovailoa sidelined, Cooper Rush and recovering knee-injury returnee Michael Penix Jr. split first-team reps. Rush started the Week 1 loss to Pittsburgh, but Penix is widely expected to take over starting duties once fully cleared for game action.
