The Atlanta Falcons reported several player updates on Friday as they gear up for their upcoming game. Tight end Kyle Pitts, currently dealing with a knee injury, was added to the practice report as a limited participant. Despite this setback, Pitts has had an impressive season so far, recording 80 catches for 854 yards and five touchdowns across 15 games, while playing 87 percent of the offensive snaps.
In addition to Pitts, defensive linemen Ruke Orhorhoro and Sam Roberts also appeared as limited participants due to knee injuries. Notably, Roberts is beginning the first day of his 21-day return-to-practice window, which could signal a positive development for the team’s defensive line.
Wide receiver Drake London (knee) and edge rusher James Pearce Jr. (neck) were also marked as limited participants during Friday’s practice. However, there is some good news for the Falcons as wide receiver Teagan Quitoriano, who had been listed as limited on Monday due to a hamstring issue, has been upgraded to a full participant.
As the team navigates these injuries, their ability to adapt and manage player workloads will be crucial to maintain their competitive edge in the remaining games. With Pitts’ stellar performance this season and the potential returns of other key players, the Falcons remain hopeful for a strong finish to the season.
