Stefanski: Falcons Not Ruling Out Any QB Option for Sunday
Head coach says decision on starting quarterback remains open ahead of matchup with the Panthers.
Atlanta Falcons coach Kevin Stefanski said this week that the team has not settled on a starting quarterback for Sunday's game against the Carolina Panthers, according to a report from ESPN.
"Not ruling anybody out," Stefanski told reporters, addressing questions about the team's quarterback situation heading into the matchup.
The uncertainty comes amid an injury affecting the Falcons' quarterback depth chart, ESPN reported. Names mentioned in connection with the situation include Cooper Rush and Tua Tagovailoa, though the report did not specify further details on the nature of the injury or the exact status of each player.
Stefanski did not commit to a specific starter, leaving open the possibility that any of the available quarterbacks could take the field against the Panthers.
Further updates on the Falcons' quarterback decision are expected as the team approaches game day, ESPN said.
