Apparently, this is a procedure that McGary has had a couple times in college and the Atlanta Falcons were well aware of this issue. According to NFL.com, the last time McGary had this procedure he missed about six weeks. They went on to say that “A timetable for his recovery is expected after the procedure takes place”.
So what happens next for the Falcons and the offensive line?
According to the depth chart that the Falcons released a few days ago, Ty Sambrailo is the current starter at right tackle, followed by McGary and then rookie Jaelin Robinson out of Temple.
