Per Schefter, swing tackle and key Kaleb McGary insurance Storm Norton had ankle surgery yesterday, which comes with a recovery timeline of 6-8 weeks. That would put him on track to return sometime in October, which is better than missing the season but makes for a very scary problem at this moment in time.
The Falcons offensive line is having a tough day on the injury front on Wednesday. Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that tackle Storm Norton is set to miss six-to-eight weeks after having ankle surgery. Norton has been sideline for an extended period of time this month.
The Falcons must trim their roster to 53 players by Tuesday afternoon. Here's what we think it's going to look like.
McGary was carted off at Wednesday’s practice with a left leg injury and an initial report said that he’d miss time without an idea of how much time. Morris suggested it will be at least the first four games of the regular season because that’s the minimum time players are out when they go on injured reserve.
The Falcons could very well make a move to replace Kaleb McGary until he is healthy. However, it isn't going to be a move that will be jaw dropping.
The Atlanta Falcons travel to Arlington, Texas to take on the Dallas Cowboys in their final preseason game of the year.
The Atlanta Falcons' offensive line is experiencing an injury bug with the regular season right around the corner. Reports indicate that one player recently underwent surgery while another suffered an injury on Wednesday in practice.
