Tua Tagovailoa on training camp with Michael Penix: "It's definitely a competition"

Falcons quarterbacks Tua Tagovailoa and Michael Penix are both limited by injuries in training camp, but that isn't stopping them from competing for the starting job.

>Tagovailoa said on NFL Network that while he rests an injured back and Penix rehabs the torn ACL he suffered in November, they continue to compete.

>"I view it as a competition. I understand he can't take some team reps right now because of what he's going through, but he's still being able to compete in seven-on-seven, he's still able to go through some plays," Tagovailoa said. "It's definitely a competition."

>Tagovailoa said his own back injury won't limit him for much longer.

>"Nothing too serious, just a caution kind of thing where we're not rushing it. It was just a flare-up, nothing big, not anything long-term. We'll be fine," Tagovailoa said.

>The Falcons have to hope at least one of their quarterbacks will be 100 percent when they open the season on September 13 against the Steelers.
