FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. -- Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts and defensive lineman Ta'Quon Graham have been placed on injured reserve and both will miss a minimum of four games.
A source told ESPN's Adam Schefter that surgery is "likely" for Pitts' MCL injury, but Falcons coach Arthur Smith said nothing has been confirmed yet as they are still seeing doctors and receiving opinions about a potential tear and the severity of it.
"I'm not a doctor, but an MCL sprain, that's usually what happens -- there's varying degrees and where they are in the knee," Smith said.
