The Atlanta Falcons lost their starting center and right tackle last night, a contributing factor for their struggles on the ground in particular against the Chiefs. Drew Dalman and Kaleb McGary are both excellent run blocking offensive linemen who do decent-to-good work in pass protection depending on the week, and both are vital pieces of this team’s line. We held our breath and hoped both would be out for a very short time.
Unfortunately for Atlanta, that’s not going to be the case. Injury updates from NFL insider Ian Rapoport came pending MRIs, and neither one indicates a quick turnaround time.
