What happened: Rush joined Atlanta on July 29. Michael Penix Jr. also was ruled out despite being listed as a full practice participant.

Why it matters: Atlanta had named Tagovailoa its Week 1 starter Monday, with Rush assigned backup duties. That plan lasted less than a week. [Falcons](https://www.atlantafalcons.com/news/kevin-stefanski-details-plan-for-quarterback-position-michael-penix-tua-tagovailoa)

What to watch: Watch how Atlanta handles the quarterback position after the opener as Tagovailoa and Penix await their returns.
