"Multiple rumors are circulating about the cause, but the only description we have from Raheem Morris is that it is a private matter between the player and the team, and they don't know when he'll be back. Morris also clarified that the issue is unrelated to the firing of former WR Coach Ike Hilliard, and said Friday that he excused the absence."
"The wide receiver was a healthy scratch going into the Buffalo Bills game, which took many by surprise. McCloud has had a down year relative to his 2024 performance, where he set career highs more or less across the board. However, he has still offered value on special teams as a returner and remains one of the more dynamic receivers in the room, especially with Darnell Mooney out."
Ray-Ray McCloud has been absent from the Atlanta Falcons roster while the organization describes the situation as a private matter between the player and the team, and no return date has been announced. Head coach Raheem Morris said the absence was excused and unrelated to the firing of former wide receivers coach Ike Hilliard. McCloud was a surprise healthy scratch versus the Buffalo Bills after a decline from his productive 2024 season. He continues to provide value on special teams as a returner and remains a dynamic receiving option, but offensive game plans and roster priorities have made him more expendable.
