July 29 (UPI) -- Atlanta Falcons quarterback Tua Tagovailoa is out due to an injury "flare-up," coach Kevin Stefanski told reporters Wednesday in Flowery Brach, Ga.

Stefanski, who met with reporters before the Falcons' first training camp practice, said the injury occurred a "few days ago." He did not specify if the issue related to Tagovailoa's upper or lower body.

"Tua is dealing with an injury right now," Stefanski said. "It's not long-term. He'll be out there sooner than later. But we'll work through that in the next couple days."

Tagovailoa, who struggled with concussions and hip issues through his first six seasons with the Miami Dolphins, was released in March. He went on to sign a one-year deal with the Falcons.
