With the loss to the Chiefs, the Falcons also saw a pair of starting offensive linemen go down with injuries. Though Atlanta is in wait-and-see mode with Drew Dalman, they received great news on Kaleb McGary.
Despite spraining his MCL, Jordan Schultz reports that the Falcons’ starting right tackle avoided a significant injury and further testing revealed that he’ll be considered day to day.
That is the best possible outcome for McGary and the Falcons. With three straight division matchups looming, Atlanta needs to be healthy, and the offensive line is the one place they cannot afford an injury.
It is already a thin position across the league, and without two starters, the Falcons would’ve limped into NFC South contests against the Saints and Bucs. Thankfully, it seems McGary may not even miss one game, let alone multiple.
