Olamide Zaccheaus serves as the Atlanta Falcons emergency quarterback against the Pittsburgh Steelers

The Atlanta Falcons named wide receiver Olamide Zaccheaus as the team's third emergency quarterback for the Sunday game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. This decision follows a series of roster changes as the team prepares to start Cooper Rush at quarterback. Tua Tagovailoa is unavailable due to an oblique injury sustained in practice, while Michael Penix remains inactive while recovering from a previous injury. Rookie Jack Strand will serve as the primary backup to Cooper Rush. In addition to his emergency quarterback role, Olamide Zaccheaus is listed as the third running back on the depth chart behind Bijan Robinson and Brian Robinson. The team retained four quarterbacks on the active roster but faces significant personnel adjustments for the season opener.
