Tua Tagovailoa not fretting back issue, unsure on full return #Falcons https://t.co/L78D1wIRJD Via @marcraimondi on X

What happened: Tagovailoa joined individual drills Friday after a tight back kept him out of Atlanta’s first camp practice. He said he feels good and is not worried about the issue.

Why it matters: The restriction has delayed Atlanta’s training-camp quarterback competition. Clearance for team periods would give the Falcons a fuller evaluation before the season.

What to watch: His participation in team drills will indicate when Atlanta is ready to lift the restrictions.
