What happened: The Falcons listed Tagovailoa as limited Thursday with an oblique injury. The Tua Tagovailoa was named Atlanta’s Week 1 starter on Monday.
Why it matters: The designation puts the newly selected starter on the team’s immediate availability watch. Any change in participation could affect Atlanta’s preparation for its opener.
By the numbers: Tagovailoa was named Atlanta’s starter on Sept. 7, three days before the season opener.
What to watch: Watch Tagovailoa’s participation level Friday and his game status ahead of Sunday.
