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. A decision on No. 2 quarterback Kirk Cousins wasn't final but Atlanta is unlikely to play him in the game after multiple days of joint practices at the team's Flowery Branch facility this week.
Last week, Cousins dressed -- Penix didn't -- but wasn't used in the Falcons' preseason opener.
Stick was strong in that game against the Detroit Lions last week, completing 15 of his 18 passes for 149 yards and a touchdown in the first half.
Jones completed 4 of 5 passes and rushed for nine yards before the game was suspended in the fourth quarter due to an injury to Lions safety Morice Norris.
The Falcons kick off the regular season on Sept. 7 in Atlanta with a visit from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The preseason finale is Aug. 22 at Dallas.
