The Falcons have announced their inactives with the game a little over an hour away, and there’s some good news to come out of the announcement.
Per the team, tight end Kyle Pitts will play against the Saints, giving the offense a puncher’s chance of overcoming a stout New Orleans defense. Pitts also gets his shot at history, as he’s chasing Mike Ditka’s all-time yardage record for a rookie tight end and needs just 59 yards to get there. Pitts already set the modern record, blowing by Jeremy Shockey weeks ago.
It’s not all roses, though.
