## Resource

The Falcons are in chaos at quarterback as they head into their next game, with Michael Penix Jr. recovering from injury, Tua Tagovailoa sidelined by an oblique issue, Cooper Rush battling back spasms, and rookie Jack Strand stepping in. Despite Tua being listed as the starter, practice reps were split between Rush and Penix, leaving head coach Kevin Stefanski unsure of his final decision. The Panthers, meanwhile, are focusing on Stefanski’s offensive scheme rather than any one QB’s tendencies, adjusting their rush plan based on mobility — a key insight since none of Atlanta’s QBs are particularly mobile. Pass rusher Jaelan Phillips, who knows Tua from Miami, is eager to get a sack, noting that both Tagovailoa and Penix are left-handed, which adds complexity for defenders. Rush’s last outing had mixed results — one TD, two INTs. Regardless of who takes the field, the Panthers are laser-focused on execution, despite their own receiver injuries and recent roster moves, including bringing up linebacker Tyrel Dodson and waiving Jimmy Horn Jr., hoping to re-sign him later.
