To be 100 percent for Sunday Pitts (hamstring) said Wednesday he expects to be 100 percent healthy for Sunday's regular-season opener against the Steelers despite being limited in practice, Josh Kendall of The... Impact Pitts said that his limitations at Wednesday's practice will only amount to missing a play or two, per Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com. Meanwhile, when asked if there are any concerns about Pitts' status for Week 1, William McFadden of the Falcons' official site reports that head coach Raheem Morris answered "not for me." The athletic tight end will have two more chances to upgrade to a 'full' practice level, but even if he carries an injury designation into the weekend, it sounds like fantasy managers will be able to rely on Pitts with full confidence for Atlanta's regular-season opener. With the arrival of Kirk Cousins under center, Pitts may be primed for a true breakout campaign while paired with the best quarterback play of his four-year career.
