Falcons RT Kaleb McGary Carted Off the Field with Apparent Lower Leg Injury During Practice

Kaleb McGary, a key right tackle for the Falcons, sustained a possible left leg injury during practice, with backups Elijah Wilkinson and others stepping in as the team prepares for its final preseason game.

  • On Wednesday, Atlanta Falcons right tackle Kaleb McGary was carted off practice with a possible lower left leg injury at Flowery Branch, Georgia, and is undergoing an MRI while his status for Friday preseason finale vs the Dallas Cowboys is unclear.
  • McGary had been coming back from left ankle bone spurs and offseason scope and recently signed a two-year, $30 million contract extension earlier this month through the 2027 season.
  • Per Pro Football Focus, Kaleb McGary has started 92 games, surrendering 42 sacks and allowing 188 pressures while serving as the key blindside protector for left-handed quarterback Michael Penix Jr.
  • With McGary out, Atlanta Falcons' depth was tested as veteran Elijah Wilkinson filled in at right tackle Wednesday, while backups Brandon Parker and rookie Jack Nelson remain thin behind him amid Storm Norton's injury.
  • Coach Raheem Morris had already planned to hold out most starters and said Michael Penix Jr. and Kirk Cousins will not play in the preseason finale; he voiced confidence in the offensive-line depth as the team awaits an update on Kaleb McGary's status.
