Cooper Rush said he took all the reps with the 1s today. #Falcons. That means the Falcons might be forced to turn to a player Mike McCarthy should be quite familiar with, having coached him in Dallas.

Rush took first-team reps; 33.3% deep completion rate limits vertical passing game.

Rush took all first-team reps with the Falcons on Thursday and is familiar to Mike McCarthy from his time coaching him in Dallas. With Michael Penix Jr. inactive and Tua Tagovailoa's availability in question due to an oblique injury, Rush may be forced to start Week 1. He has a spotty track record throwing deep, with a career completion percentage of just 33.3% on throws 20+ yards downfield.
