Falcons continue to address quarterback situation ahead of Week 2

The Atlanta Falcons fell to 0-1 this season after a loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 1. The Falcons struggled offensively, with quarterback Cooper Rush throwing for 143 yards but recording two interceptions, including a pick-six. Head coach Kevin Stefanski confirmed that defensive lineman Da'Shawn Hand will require season-ending surgery for a torn quad. As the Falcons prepare for their Week 2 matchup against the Carolina Panthers, Stefanski provided little clarity on the quarterback situation, with NFL insider Ian Rapoport indicating that Michael Penix is a potential starter when healthy. In individual performance, running back Bijan Robinson surpassed Devonta Freeman to rank sixth in franchise rushing history.
