What happened: RapSheet said Rush was working with Atlanta's first unit Friday and is expected to open Week 2 under center. The move keeps him on track for another start after Atlanta turned to him in the opener.

Why it matters: That points to a second straight week of continuity at quarterback for the same Atlanta team that named Rush its Week 1 starter on Sept. 11. Extending that setup into Week 2 would keep the Falcons on the same early-season plan rather than making another change before kickoff.

What to watch: Atlanta's final practice and game-status updates will show whether Rush stays with the first team through the weekend.
