NFL analyst makes bold prediction about Falcons QB Jack Strand

The Atlanta Falcons are one week away from playing in the 2026 NFL season opener against the Pittsburgh Steelers, and they still haven't shown their hand when it comes to the starting quarterback job. While the team has until Wednesday to release its Week 1 depth chart, NFL insiders believe a decision may come sooner than that.

Head coach Kevin Stefanski is expected to meet with the media on Monday, and that's when ESPN's Jeremy Fowler believes the Falcons will declare either Michael Penix Jr. or Tua Tagovailoa as their QB1 against Pittsburgh.
