Tua Tagovailoa reportedly appeared to have back issue at Falcons practice

Tua Tagovailoa seen sitting on ground after apparent back problem

The Atlanta Falcons are less than 72 hours from kicking off their season and may have found themselves already having to pivot. On Thursday, there were multiple reports out of Falcons training camp stating Tua Tagovailoa, who the Falcons announce would be their Week 1 starter on Monday, was seen touching his back after a throw, then sitting on the ground afterwards.

“Don’t want to rush to judgement here and say ‘he’s hurt and he won’t be available Sunday,’ we’ll wait for the injury report, but Mike certainly not good news,” 92-9 The Game’s Carl Dukes said as he and cohost Mike Bell reacted to the reports on Tagovailoa. “This is the definition of being a Falcons fan,” Bell said.
