"One of the better run blockers in football at the position, McGary has been a vital part of the success of this team's ground game paving the way for Bijan Robinson and Tyler Allgeier, and the Falcons clearly trusted him to do enough in pass protection to help keep this thing humming. Now we'll have to wait to see him in that role in 2025, if we do indeed see him."
"The veteran tackle was a first round pick in 2019 alongside Chris Lindstrom after then-general manager Thomas Dimitroff traded up for him, and has started 92 of a possible 93 games he's appeared in since then. McGary has appeared in at least 14 games every season and played every game in three of six seasons, but usually is banged up for a short time every year, missing four combined games over the past two seasons."
Kaleb McGary has been placed on injured reserve by the Atlanta Falcons with no official timetable for his return and a presumed designation to return. McGary had signed a new deal and was the projected right tackle and Michael Penix's blindside protector for 2025 after improving his pass protection while excelling as a run blocker. He has been durable since being a 2019 first-round pick, starting 92 of 93 games, but this injury occurred after he was carted off practice and could cost him at least half of the 2025 campaign. The Falcons acquired Michael Jerrell and retain Elijah Wilkinson, Brandon Parker, and rookie Jack Nelson as depth, with Wilkinson likely to get first starting opportunity.
