What happened: Cooper Rush said he took every first-team quarterback rep for Atlanta during Thursday's practice. The change puts Rush at the center of the Falcons' current quarterback preparation.

Why it matters: Rush was listed as Atlanta's backup for Week 1 earlier this week. A continued shift in reps could alter the team's short-term quarterback plan.

What to watch: The next practice report should show whether Rush retains the first-team workload.
