Falcons now have ruled out Tua Tagovailoa for Sunday’s opening game in Pittsburgh. https://t.co/WsXOFhyT2r Via @AdamSchefter on X

What happened: Tagovailoa was limited in Thursday's practice with an oblique injury, according to the [Falcons' injury update](https://www.atlantafalcons.com/news/falcons-injury-report-qb-tua-tagovailoa-added-to-thursday-report). He had been day-to-day entering Friday.

Why it matters: Atlanta must now turn to a replacement quarterback to open the season, changing its offensive preparations two days before kickoff.

What to watch: Watch for Atlanta's starting quarterback announcement and Tagovailoa's practice availability next week.
