Tua's Injury Rattles Falcons Start | Alabama Crimson Tide Football News

Tua Tagovailoa’s Falcons debut hit a snag—after being named Week 1 starter, he exited practice with a back injury, leaving backup Cooper Rush to run the first team.

Tua, a seven-year vet with Pro Bowl honors and elite stats, is aiming for redemption after a rough 2023 season marked by a career-high 15 interceptions.
