亚特兰大猎鹰队周一宣布图阿·塔戈瓦伊洛亚将担任第1周对阵匹兹堡钢人队的首发四分卫1。迈克尔·佩尼克斯二世将在该场比赛中不出场，库珀·拉什将担任替补四分卫1。这一决定在两名四分卫经过数月竞争后作出1。
塔戈瓦伊洛亚在今年3月与猎鹰队签订一年合同1，此前在迈阿密海豚队效力6年1。他在季前赛第三场对前东家海豚队的比赛中完成8中7达成95码1，最后一次为海豚队首发是12月15日在匹兹堡的比赛，当时海豚队以28:15落败1。
佩尼克斯目前还在从去年11月的季末撕裂前交叉韧带恢复中1。主教练凯文·斯特凡斯基表示塔戈瓦伊洛亚在训练营中获得了更多机会，而佩尼克斯虽然已被清除参加11对11对抗训练，但未在任何季前赛中出场1。佩尼克斯表示自己"真的很接近"做好准备，但想确保恢复到100%时才上场1。
迈阿密海豚队因2024年给塔戈瓦伊洛亚的4年2.125亿美元延期合同，未来两个赛季需承担9920万美元的薪资帽空间1。
The Atlanta Falcons have designated Tua Tagovailoa as their starting quarterback for Week 1 against the Pittsburgh Steelers, the team announced Monday 1. Michael Penix Jr. will be inactive for the matchup 1.
The decision comes after months of competition between the two signal-callers during training camp 1. Head Coach Kevin Stefanski indicated that Tagovailoa received more opportunities during the preseason preparations 1. Penix, who is recovering from a torn anterior cruciate ligament sustained in November of last year, has been cleared to participate in 11-on-11 drills but did not appear in any preseason games 1. Penix stated he felt "really close" to being ready but wanted to ensure his recovery reached 100 percent before taking the field 1. Cooper Rush will serve as the backup quarterback 1.
Tagovailoa, who signed a one-year contract with the Falcons in March after spending six seasons with the Miami Dolphins, completed 7 of 8 passes for 95 yards in the third preseason game against his former team 1. His last start for Miami came on December 15 against Pittsburgh, a game the Dolphins lost 28-15 1.
