"Atlanta did not stash McGary on IR with a return designation, NFL.com's Mike Garafolo clarifies. That will sideline the recently extended blocker for the season. That deals a blow to a Falcons team that also is without swing tackle Storm Norton, who suffered a knee injury recently. The Falcons did place Norton on their IR-return list, which also includes defensive lineman Ta'Quon Graham. Norton is expected to miss between six to eight weeks."
"Raheem Morris did say last week that McGary would miss significant time, and it now represents good timing on his part to secure a second Falcons extension. Atlanta gave McGary a two-year, $30MM deal that brings $17.99MM guaranteed, per Spotrac. McGary will have plenty of time to rehab, but locking in that guarantee when he did probably spared him a value loss in free agency."
Kaleb McGary will be sidelined for the season after Atlanta declined to place him on IR with a return designation. Swing tackle Storm Norton suffered a knee injury and was placed on the IR-return list, with an expected absence of six to eight weeks; Ta'Quon Graham also occupies that list. McGary signed a two-year, $30MM extension with $17.99MM guaranteed and will have time to rehab, protecting his recent contract value. The Falcons added Michael Jerrell via trade and have veteran Elijah Wilkinson as immediate options, but offensive line depth is now strained until injured players return.
