Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts will miss Sunday’s game against the division rival Buccaneers with a hamstring injury, the team announced on Friday.
Pitts did not practice all week for the Falcons, and is the latest offensive weapon to be ruled out for the game against Tampa after running back Cordarrelle Patterson was put on injured reserve for his knee earlier this week. Pitts has not been put on injured reserve to date, so it’s likely that Atlanta does not see this as a long-term issue for their star tight end.
Pitts has had a relatively quiet second season with Atlanta after a 68 catch, 1,026-yard season in 2021.
