From the article

Cooper Rush isn't just third on the quarterback depth chart; he became the third injured guy in the quarterbacks room during the team's Saturday walk-through before flying to Pittsburgh. Still, he got the start, and it wasn't great. Rush finished the day completing 12 of 22 attempts for 143 yards, one TD, and two picks.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalProjection

Rush's poor Week 1 start (12/22, 143 yards, 1 TD, 2 INTs) signals temporary role.

Cooper Rush started despite being the third injured QB in the quarterbacks room during Saturday walk-through before flying to Pittsburgh. He completed 12 of 22 attempts for 143 yards, one TD, and two interceptions in the loss to the Steelers. The source lists him as part of 'The Ugly' from the game and notes he won't be the long-term starter, with either Tua Tagovailoa or Michael Penix Jr. expected to take over soon.
