Kyle Pitts: 'feeling good and ready to go' | Press Conference Kyle Pitts speaks to the media about feeling good and ready to go Sunday.
Officially limited Wednesday Pitts (hamstring) practiced in a limited capacity Wednesday, Scott Bair of the Falcons' official site reports.
Impact One week removed from not practicing at all before missing the first game of his career this past Sunday at Tampa Bay, Pitts was back on the field as Atlanta gears up for a Week 6 matchup with the 49ers. He told Josh Kendall of The Athletic on Wednesday that he expects to return Sunday, but he may need to practice in full Thursday and/or Friday to enter the weekend without a designation.

Returning to practice Coach Arthur Smith said Wednesday that Pitts (hamstring) will resume practicing, Josh Kendall of The Athletic reports.
Impact Pitts sat out Week 5 after being sidelined for three straight practices with a hamstring issue, so it will be encouraging to see him handle even a limited session Wednesday. Smith said the Falcons will monitor Pitts in practice throughout the week before making a decision about his availability for Sunday's contest against the 49ers.

Shouldn't miss too much time Coach Arthur Smith doesn't expect Pitts' hamstring injury to be a long-term problem, though the tight end won't play this Sunday in Tampa Bay, ESPN.com's Michael Rothstein reports.
Impact The Falcons seem to be optimistic Pitts will miss only a game or two, but it's hard to know for sure after he was held out of practice all week and then ruled out for Sunday's contest. Parker Hesse and Anthony Firkser figure to get most of the TE snaps for an Atlanta offense that already was running low on skill-position talent after RB Cordarrelle Patterson (knee) landed on injured reserve. Pitts' next chance to play is Sunday, Oct. 16 against the 49ers, the second of three straight matchups in which Atlanta faces a 2021 playoff team with a strong defense.

Falcons' injury report: Kyle Pitts out with hamstring injury Falcons Pro Bowl tight end Kyle Pitts (hamstring) ruled out for Sunday’s game against the Buccaneers, according to head coach Arthur Smith.
OCTOBER 7, 2022 • AJC.COM
Ruled out for Week 5 Pitts (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, Michael Rothstein of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Pitts has missed three consecutive practices due to a hamstring injury, and the question now becomes whether he will manage to recover in time for Week 6 versus the 49ers. Parker Hesse and Anthony Firkser will work to pick up the slack at tight end versus Tampa Bay on Sunday, but fantasy managers in need of a replacement for Pitts could have better luck perusing the waiver wire than Atlanta's positional depth chart.

Not spotted at Friday's practice Pitts (hamstring) is not practicing Friday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Impact Pitts appears destined to be ruled out for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, as he's coming off three straight missed practices due to a hamstring injury. That would mark the first absence of Pitts' professional career, and potentially even cast doubt on his availability for Week 6. Parker Hesse and Anthony Firkser will stand to handle increased reps if Pitts is indeed sidelined Sunday, but fantasy managers may want to look to another situation entirely for replacement production at the tight end position.

Sits out another practice Pitts (hamstring) was listed as a non-participant in Thursday's practice, Josh Kendall of The Athletic reports.
Impact With consecutive absences from practice to begin Week 5 prep, Pitts could be in danger of missing the first game of his NFL career. Even if Pitts is able to get back on the practice field Friday to clear up some concern about his status for Sunday's game at Tampa Bay, fantasy managers may still have some hesitancy about including the 22-year-old in lineups. Pitts' contributions have been disappointing in three of his first four games of the season, and he's coming off a Week 4 performance against the Browns in which he played just 62 percent of the Falcons' offensive snaps while recording one reception for 25 yards on four targets. The fact that he may not be close to 100 percent healthy if he suits up against the Buccaneers may be another reason for managers to consider replacing him in Week 5 lineups.

Not spotted at practice Pitts (hamstring) wasn't spotted during the media-access portion of Thursday's practice, Michael Rothstein of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Pitts missed Wednesday's practice, so the tight end's status will be worth monitoring closely ahead of Sunday's game against the Buccaneers. In the event that Pitts is sidelined or limited this weekend, Parker Hesse and Anthony Firkser would be in line to see added snaps in Week 5.
