Falcons' Kyle Pitts (knee) officially out for the season
Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts (knee) has been officially ruled out for the rest of the 2022-23 season.
What It Means:
Pitts, who was already on injured reserve, underwent knee surgery on Tuesday and will not return this season. With Pitts out, the Falcons' low-volume passing game will continue to run through rookie Drake London.
In 10 games this season, Pitts caught 28 of 59 targets for 356 yards and 2 touchdowns.
