KALEB MCGARY NEWS

Starts camp on PUP list The Falcons placed McGary (undisclosed) on the PUP list Thursday, John Deighton of the team's official site reports.

Impact McGary can be activated back to the roster as soon as he's healthy, so there won't be any reason for concern as long as he's back on the field sometime in early August. Left guard Matt Gono (undisclosed) was also placed on the PUP list.

Cleared to face Buccaneers McGary (personal) is active for Sunday's matchup against Tampa Bay.

Impact McGary was unavailable for Atlanta's Week 14 loss to the Chargers, and he has missed five consecutive practices while attending to a family matter. Entering Sunday morning, the primary barrier was McGary clearing NFL COVID-19 protocols in time for kickoff. With that aspect assured, the second-year man is able to return to his right tackle post for the Week 15 NFC South clash.

Deemed questionable for Week 15 McGary (personal) is questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Buccaneers, Matthew Tabeek of the Falcons' official site reports.

Impact McGary was unavailable last Sunday against the Chargers while attending to a family matter. Though he hasn't practiced all week, the Washington product still has a chance to suit up Week 15 after rejoining the team Friday. With McGary's pending COVID-19 test results playing a pivotal role toward his availability, Matt Gono waits on standby as a potential fill-in at right tackle.

Unavailable for Week 14 McGary (personal) will miss Sunday's matchup against the Chargers, D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Impact McGary has been in Washington tending to a family emergency since Thursday, and he won't be with the team for a Week 14 trip to take on the Chargers. Given NFL COVID-19 protocols, there's no guarantee the Falcons will have their starting right tackle Week 15, either. Matt Gono steps in for McGary, earning his second career NFL start.

Can't go Sunday McGary (knee-MCL) is inactive for Sunday's matchup against Chicago.

Impact The 2019 first-round pick seemed like a long shot to play all week, though a limited practice session Friday provided a glimmer of hope. Without McGary for Week 3, 24-year-old Matt Gono will log his first career start at right tackle.

SEPTEMBER 27, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Week 3 McGary (knee-MCL) is questionable heading into the Falcons' Week 3 matchup against the Bears, Jason Butt of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Impact Though McGary is officially listed as questionable, 24-year-old Matt Gono is expected to pick up his first career start at right tackle, per Vaughn McClure of ESPN.com. If McGary is healthy enough to suit up for Sunday's contest, he may be utilized as an emergency option should Gono struggle in containing Khalil Mack (knee) coming off the edge. McGary was, at least, able to log a limited practice Friday after sitting out the session prior.
