Notes
Tua settling in as Falcons' backup behind Penix
Atlanta indicates Tua Tagovailoa is recovering and accepting a reserve role, leaving Michael Penix Jr. as the starting quarterback. That keeps the quarterback plan unchanged heading into the game at New Orleans. ESPN
ATL since this note: +2.5 → +2.5 (no move)
Etienne sidelined by hamstring, no timeline from Saints
Saints running back Travis Etienne Jr. hurt his hamstring in the loss to Las Vegas and will miss time, with coach Kellen Moore declining to give a timeline. That points to a larger backfield role for Alvin Kamara against Atlanta. ESPN
NO since this note: −2.5 → −2.5 (no move)
