Falcons' Jack Strand: Emergency QB3 for Week 7
Strand (coach's decision) is inactive as the emergency third quarterback for Sunday's game against the 49ers, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.
Strand is the emergency third option behind Michael Penix and Tua Tagovailoa, while Andy Dalton (coach's decision) is a healthy scratch as he continues to learn the Falcons' offense. Strand will only enter Sunday's game against the 49ers if both Penix and Tagovailoa cannot continue due to injury, illness or ejection.

Falcons' Jack Strand: Inactive against Green Bay
Strand (coach's decision) is inactive for Thursday's game against the Packers.
Strand saw some action in relief of Cooper Rush in the 34-3 loss to Carolina in Week 2. However, he didn't play well, throwing for 59 yards and one interception off 8-for-15 passing, adding two carries for 16 yards. With Michael Penix (knee) and Tua Tagovailoa (oblique) back in the mix, and Rush serving as the emergency signal-caller, Strand's services won't be needed in Week 3.

Falcons' Jack Strand: Shows little in relief of Rush
Strand completed just eight of 15 passes for 59 yards and an interception in the Falcons' 34-3 loss to the Panthers on Sunday.
Cooper Rush was benched after going 10-for-17 passing with no touchdowns and two interceptions. Strand came on in relief and was just as ineffective. The 22-year-old is an undrafted rookie who played his college football at tiny Minnesota State-Moorhead, so it's no surprise he wasn't ready for the NFL in his first regular-season game action. With Michael Penix (knee) potentially back for Thursday night's game at Green Bay, Strand will be a cut candidate. Strand would make more sense on the practice squad where he can learn in a no-stress environment.

Falcons' Jack Strand: Backup QB again Sunday
Strand is listed as the No. 2 quarterback for Sunday's game versus the Panthers, Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com reports.
With Michael Penix (knee) out and Tua Tagovailoa (oblique) doubtful, Cooper Rush (back) will start again in Week 2. While Strand is currently penciled in as the No. 2 signal-caller against Carolina, he'll see action if Rush is forced to miss any time.

Falcons' Jack Strand: Could be an option in Week 2
Falcons head coach Kevin Stefanski said Wednesday that Strand hasn't been ruled out from being available for Sunday's game against the Panthers, Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com reports.
The Falcons' injury woes at quarterback could lead to Strand being active for a second straight week. Not only are Tua Tagovailoa (oblique) and Michael Penix (knee) dealing with injuries, but Cooper Rush -- who started the Week 1 loss to the Steelers -- is also getting treatment for his back. Tagovailoa didn't practice Wednesday, and while Rush and Penix were both full participants, it's unclear if the Falcons are prepared to have Penix make his 2026 debut just yet. Depending how the injury report shakes out Friday, Strand could be in the No. 2 role yet again for the Falcons as they host the Panthers.

Falcons' Jack Strand: Backup QB for Week 1
Strand will serve as the Falcons' backup quarterback behind Cooper Rush for Sunday's game against the Steelers, Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com reports.
The Falcons chose to carry four quarterbacks on the 53-man roster, and that looks to have been a savvy move after Tua Tagovailoa was ruled out for Week 1 due to an oblique injury he sustained in Thursday's practice. With Michael Penix (knee) also sidelined, the Falcons will turn to the veteran Rush to start under center while Strand -- an undrafted rookie out of Minnesota State-Moorhead -- operates as the QB2. Strand played in all three of the Falcons' preseason games, completing 24 of 36 passes for 306 yards, one touchdown and one interception while turning 17 carries into 29 yards and two scores.

Falcons' Jack Strand: Makes roster as one of four QBs
Strand is one of four quarterbacks who made Atlanta's 53-man roster, Will McFadden of the team's official site reports.
The three QBs to make the roster along with Strand are Tua Tagovailoa, Michael Penix Jr. (knee) and Cooper Rush. Strand is listed as last on the team's initial depth chart, so he's unlikely to see much action, if any, barring injuries to multiple signal-callers ahead of him. Falcons GM Ian Cunningham called the team's decision to carry four quarterbacks "a little bit of an insurance policy," per the Associated Press, in acknowledgement of Tagovailoa's injury history and the knee issue Penix is still working his way back from. Still, Strand -- who signed with Atlanta as an undrafted free agent in May -- could ultimately end up on the practice squad when/if the team needs to provide more depth at other positions.
