Atlanta Falcons right tackle Kaleb McGary has a big test Sunday when he faces New York Giants outside linebacker Brian Burns, given their long, contentious history stemming from the latter’s days with the Carolina Panthers.
McGary will not only be in the spotlight in Week 16 but for the remainder of the Falcons season, since he’ll now protect left-handed rookie quarterback Michael Penix’s blindside. There are concerns over whether McGary can handle the solemn duties typically held by left tackles due to the overwhelming number of right-handed passers playing football.
