Falcons HC Kevin Stefanski said QB Tua Tagovailoa “will be out there sooner rather than later.” Via @AdamSchefter on X

What happened: Tua Tagovailoa is working through a tight back as Atlanta opens training camp. The Falcons held their first full-team practice Wednesday.

Why it matters: The interruption cuts into Tagovailoa's evaluation time during Atlanta's quarterback competition. The Falcons are adding veteran depth while injuries thin the position.

By the numbers: Since becoming a full-time starter in 2021, Tagovailoa has completed 68.6% of his passes.

What to watch: Watch for Tagovailoa's return to practice and how quickly Atlanta restores his workload.
