FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. -- Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts and defensive lineman Ta'Quon Graham "will be out, at least in the short-term, for sure," coach Arthur Smith said Monday.
A source told ESPN's Adam Schefter that surgery is "likely" for Pitts' MCL injury, but 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.
