All NFL: The Insiders insights about Tua Tagovailoa

Tagovailoa is competing with Michael Penix Jr. for the Falcons starting job after a disappointing 2025 season. Mark Ross notes Tua looked 'almost like a shot fighter' last year, lacking the quick mind and quick release he showed earlier in his career. Stacy Dales adds Tua is roughly 9 months into ACL rehabilitation (his third career ACL injury) and will need to be eased back in despite being cleared to throw in March.NegativeInjuryJun 25, 2026
Tagovailoa, one of the most injured quarterbacks in the league, will get a chance to start for the Falcons but will suffer a season-ending injury; he and Michael Penix Jr. will rotate as starters with whoever can stay out of the training room getting the nod each week, before both eventually get hurt and Trevor Simeone takes over.
