Tua said he's not sure when exactly he'll be back at practice fully. He said that will be up to Stefanski and the medica Via @marcraimondi on X

What happened: Tua Tagovailoa returned in a limited capacity Friday, working individual drills after a tight back kept him out of the opening practice. Kevin Stefanski previously said the issue was not expected to be long-term.

Why it matters: Atlanta's quarterback competition remains incomplete because Michael Penix Jr. is also not cleared for full work. The Falcons signed Cooper Rush this week to reinforce the position.

What to watch: Atlanta's next practice report should show whether Tagovailoa advances beyond individual work. Penix's clearance will determine when the planned competition can begin in full.
