Overview
- Head coach Kevin Stefanski said he has not named a starter for Sunday and is "not ruling anyone out," leaving the decision open as of Thursday.
- Tua Tagovailoa did not practice for a second straight day with an oblique issue, though he remains listed as the No. 1 quarterback on the official depth chart.
- Michael Penix Jr. has been a full practice participant while returning from a partially torn ACL but has said he is "not where I want to be" and is still regaining comfort and timing.
- Cooper Rush, who started Week 1 and completed 12 of 22 passes for 143 yards with one touchdown and two interceptions, remains available while undrafted rookie Jack Strand is still being considered as a live option.
- Trade talk has surfaced about Bears backup Tyson Bagent because Falcons GM Ian Cunningham previously worked in Chicago, but multiple reports say there is no public indication Atlanta has contacted the Bears and any move would be unconfirmed.
