The Atlanta Falcons placed right tackle Kaleb McGary on the PUP list to start training camp, but the cause of his injury is unknown. Head coach Arthur Smith hasn’t willingly disclosed of many injury details thus far.
On Tuesday, Smith gave a non-update update regarding McGary’s status, saying there’s still no timetable for his return, per ESPN’s Michael Rothstein.

McGary figures to start at right tackle this season, assuming he’s healthy enough by Week 1.
The Falcons did add offensive linemen Jalen Mayfield and Drew Dalman in the draft, so they do have some options. Smith also gave an update on defensive tackle Tyeler Davison, saying his absence is not expected to be long term.
Arthur Smith said Tyeler Davison is working through something but not expected to be long-term.
Also said P Dom Maggio is working through an injury. They released Hofrichter, who is also injured, but said he’ll be rehabbing and “not the end of the road for him.”
