Tua Tagovailoa ruled out for week 1 as other starters face injuries

Tua Tagovailoa has been ruled out for the Sunday game due to an oblique injury sustained during practice Thursday. Cooper Rush is slated to start at quarterback for the Falcons, impacting the projected roles of Bijan Robinson, Drake London, and Kyle Pitts. Elsewhere, the Raiders confirmed tight end Brock Bowers will miss Week 1 with a meniscus issue, leading to a projected larger role for Michael Mayer. Tampa Bay running back Sean Tucker and wide receiver Jalen McMillan are listed as doubtful, which is expected to result in more carries for Bucky Irving and more targets for Chris Godwin. Meanwhile, players including Breece Hall, Malik Nabers, and Ashton Jeanty are expected to participate in their upcoming games following injury concerns. The league continues to monitor active injury reports as teams finalize preparations for the opening week of the season.
