Kyle Pitts Still Working His Way Back From Knee Injury

Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts (knee) missed the final seven games of last season due to a torn MCL. Head coach Arthur Smith said he expects Pitts to be ready for Week 1, but his workload for training camp is unclear. "He's still getting back. He's still working," wide receiver Drake London said. "Once he heals up, he's going to be the same Kyle Pitts we all know." The Falcons re-signed MyCole Pruitt for tight end depth on Tuesday after he led the team with four TDs in 2022. Pitts made the Pro Bowl and had 1,000 yards receiving in his rookie season in 2021, so he's clearly a bounce-back candidate in 2023 if he's healthy, especially if quarterback Desmond Ridder takes the next step in his first full year as a starter. The 22-year-old could have some nice fantasy value as a midrange TE1 this fall.
