FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. — Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts will miss the remainder of the season, coach Arthur Smith said Wednesday.
Pitts, who has 28 receptions for 356 yards and two touchdowns this season, underwent a procedure Tuesday that Smith declined to identify. Pitts posted on his Instagram account that the procedure was to repair a Grade 2 MCL sprain in his right knee.
Pitts suffered an apparent knee injury in the team’s 27-24 win against the Bears on Nov. 20. Smith said he expected that Pitts likely would miss the remainder of the season but needed final word after doctors’ evaluation of the injury.
