Atlanta Falcons quarterbacks see mixed injury updates ahead of Week 2
The Atlanta Falcons are managing several key injuries as they prepare for their Week 2 matchup against the Carolina Panthers. Quarterback Michael Penix Jr. returned to full practice following a knee injury, expressing a desire to play while maintaining a day-to-day approach to his recovery. He was joined in full practice by Cooper Rush, who is recovering from a back injury.
However, the team's quarterback depth remains complicated as starter Tua Tagovailoa did not participate in Wednesday's practice due to an oblique injury. Other notable absences include right guard Chris Lindstrom, who is in concussion protocol, and cornerback A. J. Terrell, who is sidelined with a shoulder injury.
Cornerback Billy Bowman Jr. also participated fully in practice despite an ongoing Achilles injury.
