Where he fits
Tua Tagovailoa plays for the ATL as a QB, wearing number 1. He's in year 7 of his career.
His job: The team's own depth chart lists him number 2 at quarterback — that's the order they'd normally use.
Last time out: Tua had 2 of 3 passes for 34 yards, with 1 interception. He scored NO touchdowns and threw none. He was only on the field for about 5% of the offensive plays, so he is a situational piece right now.
This season: Tua had 2 of 3 passes for 34 yards, with 1 interception. He scored NO touchdowns and threw none.
He isn't on the official week 8 injury report — no designation was filed for him.
Official league data, week 8 of the 2026 season.
