It's become increasingly likely that Tua Tagovailoa will be the opening-day starter for the Falcons when they face the Steelers... especially once Michael Penix Jr. is fully recovered from left knee surgery.

STACKED’s take

NeutralRole

Tagovailoa set as Falcons' opening-day starter but faces tough early schedule and job security questions.

Tua Tagovailoa is increasingly likely to be the Falcons' opening-day starter against the Steelers in 2026. However, his tenure is clouded by questions about durability and performance against playoff-caliber opponents; his Miami tenure was marked by success against subpar competition but struggles against top teams. The Falcons face five 2025 playoff teams in their first seven games, raising concerns about how many games he will start given the challenging early schedule and the pending return of Michael Penix Jr. from left knee surgery.
