Miami Fort Lauderdale, FL, July 29, 2026 —

The Atlanta Falcons are navigating a significant challenge at their training camp this season, finding themselves with a limited number of active quarterbacks due to a combination of minor injuries and recent roster adjustments.

The team’s quarterback depth has been impacted by several factors. Quarterback Tua Tagovailoa recently experienced what is described as a minor “flare-up” injury. While the specifics of the injury were not detailed, it is expected to be a short-term issue, potentially keeping Tagovailoa sidelined for a brief period.

Further complicating the situation is the ongoing recovery of Michael Penix Jr. Penix Jr. is still working his way back from an ACL tear. As a result of his recovery process, his participation in training camp drills is currently restricted. He is limited to participating in 7-on-7 drills, indicating he is not yet cleared for full-contact or 11-on-11 team activities.

Adding to the quarterback shortage, veteran quarterback Trevor Siemian was released by the team. This roster move further thins the available options at the position.

With these developments, the responsibility for leading the offense during 11-on-11 drills has fallen primarily on Jack Strand. Strand is currently the only active quarterback available for these more intensive team practices, highlighting the team’s current quarterback scarcity as they prepare for the upcoming season.
