Tua Tagovailoa Release Status, Michael Penix Jr.'s Injury Return Addressed in New Falcons Rumors

The Atlanta Falcons aren't expected to part ways with veteran quarterback Tua Tagovailoa once their QB room is fully healthy, according to ESPN's Ian Rapoport and Adam Schefter.

The insiders reported Tagovailoa's tenure "has become a topic for discussion," but he isn't going anywhere anytime soon.

Tagovailoa is doubtful for Sunday's game against the Carolina Panthers because of an oblique injury. Michael Penix Jr., meanwhile, is out altogether as he continues working his way back from a partially torn ACL.

Rapoport and Schefter reported Penix could be cleared to play the Green Bay Packers in Week 3.
