Falcons sign Rush as QB depth; runs drills on day one amid Penix/Tagovailoa injuries.

Signed by the Falcons as QB depth on July 29, 2026, ahead of first training camp practice. Rush was already in the building finalizing his deal when Kevin Stefanski announced Tagovailoa's injury; he immediately ran drills with the offense on his first day. Given the injury history of both Penix and Tagovailoa, the Falcons are likely to carry three QBs on the active roster this season, giving Rush a chance to compete with Strand for the third QB spot.
