Former Cowboy Cooper Rush will start in his place, and while Tagovailoa is not the player he once was, it is a clear downgrade at the most important position in football. McCarthy has plenty of familiarity with Rush from their time together in Dallas, and there is a good bet the new head coach will use that to his advantage on Sunday.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalRole

Rush starts for injured Tagovailoa; McCarthy familiar but still a downgrade.

Cooper Rush will start for the Falcons in place of the injured Tua Tagovailoa in Week 1 against Pittsburgh. The source characterizes this as a clear downgrade at quarterback, though notes that Mike McCarthy has familiarity with Rush from their time together in Dallas and may use that to his advantage. However, the overall framing is that this is a significant disadvantage for Atlanta.
