If Rush is up, he'll be making his 17th career start. He's completed 364 of 596 passes for 3,766 yards, 20 touchdowns, and 14 interceptions with 62 rushing attempts for 20 yards. The Falcons will be a little more likely to attack downfield with Rush under center in theory, but in practice I imagine he'll get an ultra-conservative gameplan that features a lot of Bijan Robinson.

Rush poised to start Week 1 if Tua unavailable; 17th career start looms.

Cooper Rush is positioned as the next man up if Tua Tagovailoa cannot start Week 1. Rush is described as one of the most experienced third quarterbacks in the NFL; he has completed 364 of 596 passes for 3,766 yards, 20 touchdowns, and 14 interceptions with 62 rushing attempts for 20 yards across his career. This would be his 17th career start. The Falcons are expected to deploy an ultra-conservative gameplan featuring Bijan Robinson heavily if Rush starts, though in theory the offense could attack downfield more with him under center.
