ATLANTA -- Falcons coach Arthur Smith on Friday said he anticipates "everybody" being ready for the season opener on Sept. 10 against Carolina.
"Everybody" would include tight end Kyle Pitts, who is recovering from surgery to repair his right MCL.
Asked specifically about Pitts' recovery, Smith maintained multiple times that the team is going to be smart with its third-year tight end, but it's an indication he should be ready by the opener.
"We fully anticipate everybody being ready to go Sept. 10," Smith said prior to the team's second OTA practice.
