FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. (AP) — The Atlanta Falcons’ quarterback competition will have to wait another day after coach Kevin Stefanski said Wednesday that Tua Tagovailoa sustained a minor injury, and he’ll be back “sooner rather than later.”
He said Tagovailoa will be present at training camp but not yet participating.
The first-year Falcons coach kept the details of Tagovailoa’s injury secret, saying one of the perks of training camp is not having to divulge every detail.
The Falcons swapped one veteran quarterback for another as a result, releasing veteran Trevor Siemian and adding Cooper Rush.
Rush was out throwing alongside Michael Penix Jr. and undrafted rookie Jack Strand at the Falcons’ first day of training camp on Wednesday morning.
