The Falcons gave him a shot on a one-year deal, partially because Michael Penix Jr. was recovering from ACL surgery and the team was unsure he'd be ready for the season opener. Penix couldn't make it back in time for Week 1 so Tagovailoa got the nod to start against the Steelers.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalRole

Tagovailoa's starting role was always temporary pending Penix's ACL recovery.

Tagovailoa was signed by the Falcons on a one-year deal as a backup option while Michael Penix Jr. recovered from ACL surgery. Penix couldn't make it back in time for Week 1, so Tagovailoa got the nod to start against the Steelers. However, the source notes he probably wouldn't have had many starts for the Falcons either, with Penix likely to return soon. His oblique injury now likely ends his opportunity to be the starter, as Penix will presumably take over once healthy.
