Overview
- Coach Raheem Morris said Friday that McGary will be out for an extended period after injuring his left leg during Wednesday’s practice.
- Atlanta is weighing an injured-reserve designation under its two-player application, which would require McGary to miss at least the first four regular-season games.
- McGary was carted off the field and previously had a left-ankle scope this offseason that kept him out of spring practices.
- Backup tackle Storm Norton underwent ankle surgery Tuesday and is expected to miss six to eight weeks.
- Elijah Wilkinson has taken right-tackle reps, with Brandon Parker and rookie Jack Nelson also in the mix, as the team adjusts without McGary, who signed a two-year, $30 million extension this month and protects left-handed QB Michael Penix Jr.’s blindside.
