Tagovailoa locked in as Falcons' Week 1 starter vs. Steelers; Penix sidelined by knee surgery.

Tagovailoa is the Falcons' starting quarterback for Week 1 against the Steelers; Michael Penix Jr.'s ongoing knee surgery recovery has kept him from securing first-team reps during the offseason and preseason, allowing Tagovailoa to establish himself as Atlanta's primary option under center heading into the regular season.
