The Atlanta Falcons’ starting quarterback competition is on hold.
Head Coach Kevin Stefanski said yesterday that Tua Tagovailoa sat out the opening practice of training camp because of a minor back issue. Michael Penix Jr. is still recovering from a knee injury.
Meanwhile, running back Bijan Robinson is staging a “hold-in” to start of training camp. Robinson was with the team for yesterday’s first practice but didn’t participate as his agents lobby for a contract extension.
