Rush starts for injured Tagovailoa with minimal preseason reps with Falcons.

Cooper Rush is starting for the Falcons against Pittsburgh after Tua Tagovailoa was injured during individual drills on Thursday. Rush had only one series with Atlanta's starters during training camp. Head coach Kevin Stefanski noted that Rush has been both a backup and starter previously and knows how to prepare, citing examples of quarterbacks who come in with minimal reps and are expected to compete and hold the standard of the room.
