Tua Tagovailoa Out for Falcons vs. Steelers, Latest Injury Updates with Cooper Rush Set to Start

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Tua Tagovailoa will miss his team's season opener against the Pittsburgh Steelers with an oblique injury, per head coach Kevin Stefanski, who told reporters that the signal-caller is now "week-to-week."

Stefanski also said the injury is unrelated to a tight back that Tagovailoa arrived at training camp with that cost him about a week of practices, per ESPN's Marc Raimondi.

The Falcons have officially named Cooper Rush as their starting quarterback for Week 1.
