What happened: Atlanta switched Wednesday's availability from a starting-quarterback session to a Cooper Rush session. The club listed no change Monday ahead of Sunday's home date with the Carolina Panthers, days after Tua Tagovailoa was ruled out of the opener with an oblique injury.

Why it matters: Tagovailoa won the job Monday last week before hurting the oblique in warmups ahead of Thursday's practice. Michael Penix Jr. remains an option while working back from knee surgery and adjusting to traffic around the leg.

What to watch: Wednesday's first-team reps will reveal the direction. Atlanta will name the starter publicly when the call is made.
