The Atlanta Falcons returned to practice on Thursday but quarterback Tua Tagovailoa sat out for the second day in a row. On the bright side, cornerback A.J. Terrell and guard Chris Lindstrom participated after sitting out on Wednesday.
Rookie linebacker Kendal Daniels and second-year cornerback Billy Bowman Jr. were both limited due to Achilles injuries. Daniels was not listed on the Wednesday report. Defensive end Za'Darius Smith was given a rest day while offensive tackle Jawaan Taylor sat out with a knee injury.
As for quarterback Michael Penix Jr. (knee), he was a full participant for the second day in a row, as was backup Cooper Rush (back). The team has yet to name a starter for Week 2, but it will likely be either Rush or Penix.
