What happened: Tua Tagovailoa was limited after hurting his oblique during Thursday's practice. Cooper Rush said he took all the first-team reps during the team portion.

Why it matters: The Atlanta Falcons had designated Rush as Tagovailoa's backup for Week 1. Thursday's workload adds urgency to the quarterback plan ahead of Sunday's opener.

By the numbers: Tagovailoa was listed as a limited participant on the official injury report, while Rush handled the full first-team workload during team drills.

What to watch: Tagovailoa's participation and official status will shape the Falcons' quarterback plan for Sunday.
