## Resource

Tua Tagovailoa’s latest injury scare during practice has thrust backup QB Cooper Rush into the spotlight — and for good reason. With Tua sidelined again after a second-week setback, Rush seized the opportunity, getting top-tier reps with the first-team offense. This wasn’t a surprise — the Falcons had already planned for this, cutting Trevor Siemian in March to make room for a proven, reliable backup. Rush’s time in the spotlight isn’t just about filling a void; it’s about depth, preparedness, and making sure the team’s offense stays sharp — even when the star quarterback’s not around.
