Falcons rookie 1st-rounder McGary injures knee

ATLANTA -- Atlanta Falcons rookie right tackle Kaleb McGary, the second of the team's two first-round draft picks, left Sunday night's game against the Philadelphia Eagles with a first-half knee injury and did not return after halftime.

McGary, the 31st overall pick in last April's NFL draft, didn't appear to put any pressure on his left leg as he was helped to the sideline by two members of the athletic performance staff. The injury occurred with 8 minutes, 10 seconds remaining in the second quarter.

McGary was replaced by veteran Ty Sambrailo.
