Easton Stick and Emory Jones are in line for the majority of the snaps for the Falcons when Atlanta plays the Tennessee Titans on Friday night. Michael Penix Jr. is the starter when the regular season opens and head coach Raheem Morris declared he would not play his second-year quarterback this week.

Despite the growing trend of NFL teams playing their starters in the preseason, Atlanta Falcons head coach Raheem Morris is taking a more cautious approach. The team did not play many starters in last week's preseason opener, and Morris isn't planning on changing his mind anytime soon.

It won't be easy for the Atlanta Falcons to trade Kirk Cousins. He's owed a lot of money still, making him the most expensive backup QB in the league. It'd probably take an injury to a starting quarterback elsewhere to make Cousins attractive enough in a deal.
