Overview

• McGary was carted off the field Wednesday with an apparent left leg injury, underwent an MRI, and the team said an update will come at an appropriate time.
• ESPN reported McGary will miss time, though the length of his absence remains undetermined.
• Swing tackle Storm Norton had ankle surgery this week and is expected to be out six to eight weeks, tightening Atlanta’s options at tackle.
• Elijah Wilkinson filled in at right tackle during practice, while reporters noted he was held out of the preseason finale with Brandon Parker and rookie Jack Nelson taking the tackle reps.
• McGary, a longtime starter who signed a two-year, $30 million extension this month, had been slated to protect left-handed quarterback Michael Penix Jr.’s blindside, raising urgency for short‑term depth solutions that observers say could include external moves if needed.
