MYCOLE PRUITT NEWS

Moves back to practice squad Pruitt reverted to the Falcons' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Impact Pruitt was elevated to the active roster for the first time with starting tight end Kyle Pitts (hamstring) sidelined against the Buccaneers on Sunday. As a result, the ninth-year veteran played 12 of Atlanta's 66 offensive snaps behind Parker Hesse (41 snaps) and Anthony Firkser (15 snaps). Pruitt did not receive a target during Sunday's loss, and he will now be eligible for two more elevations while on the Falcons' practice squad this season.

Elevated for Week 5 The Falcons elevated Pruitt on Saturday from their practice squad to their active roster for Sunday's matchup against the Buccaneers.

Impact With Kyle Pitts (hamstring) ruled out for Week 5, Pruitt will get his first elevation of the campaign and has a chance to make his season debut against Tampa Bay. It's unclear how big of a role he'll play, but Atlanta figures to fill Pitts' absence via committee with Parker Hesse, Anthony Firkser, Feleipe Franks and Pruitt all garnering snaps.

Signs with Falcons Atlanta signed Pruitt on Monday, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.

Impact Pruitt saw double-digit targets for just the third time in his eight-year career in 2021, turning those 18 looks into a career-high 14 receptions for 145 yards and three touchdowns in 16 games. The bad news, though, is that he's joining a tight-end room that's a bit crowded after former quarterback Feleipe Franks made a switch to the position in June. Pruitt will contend with Franks for opportunities behind Kyle Pitts and Anthony Firkser during training camp, but he'll need to make a good impression quickly to snag a spot on the Falcons' initial 53-man roster.

Long list in free agency for salary cap-strapped Titans

The Titans need to create a lot of salary cap space with a long list of players poised to hit free agency

MARCH 10, 2022 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Closes season with 14 catches Pruitt (ankle) recorded 14 catches for 145 yards and three touchdowns across 16 games in the 2021 season.

Impact Pruitt suffered a severe ankle injury in Week 16, which cut short his most productive season as a pro. His best performance came early in Week 2 against Seattle, when he tallied three receptions for 43 yards. However, even prior to suffering the ankle injury his production had slowed, as he had failed to record multiple receptions in each of his final eight games. Pruitt will hit free agency at the close of the season and is likely to serve a depth role regardless of where he lands for the 2022 campaign.

Moves to injured reserve Pruitt (ankle) was placed on injured reserve Monday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Impact Pruitt suffered a severe ankle injury Sunday against the Dolphins and was scheduled for surgery Monday, so it's no surprise he landed on injured reserve. Geoff Swaim and Anthony Firkser are the remaining tight ends on Tennessee's active roster, so the team is likely to add another tight end for depth in the near future with Pruitt expected out until next season.

Long absence expected Pruitt will have surgery on his ankle today and will miss extended time, John Glennon of SI.com reports.

Impact Given how the injury looked and this subsequent prognosis, it sounds as if Pruitt is unlikely to return even later in the playoffs. He ends the regular season with 14 catches on 18 targets for 145 yards and three touchdowns in 15 games. Anthony Firkser should see a bump in playing time, and the Titans will likely add a third tight end to the roster shortly.

One yard against Pittsburgh Pruitt recorded one catch on one target for one yard in Sunday's 19-13 loss to Pittsburgh.

Impact Pruitt was on the field for 34 percent of offensive snaps, good for second among the team's tight ends. However, his involvement in the passing game was minimal, and he has now been limited to one or fewer receptions in his last six contests.

Targeted three times Pruitt recorded one reception on three targets for five yards in Sunday's 20-0 win over the Jaguars.

Impact Pruitt finished third among Tennessee's tight ends with three targets, though that was his highest total since Week 7. While Ryan Tannehill regularly targets his tight ends, Pruitt has recorded multiple receptions in a game only three times this season.

Earns pair of targets Pruitt recorded one reception on two targets for 10 yards in Sunday's 36-13 loss to the Patriots.

Impact Pruitt maintained his role primarily as a blocker among the team's tight-end corps. He was on the field for 27 offensive snaps (43 percent), working behind Geoff Swaim. Pruitt has earned multiple targets in only four games on the campaign.

Impact Pruitt was limited to one or fewer receptions in a game for the seventh time this season. However, he made his one catch count against the Saints, reaching the end zone on a play-action pass early in the third quarter. On the campaign, Pruitt has 11 receptions for 129 yards and three touchdowns across 10 games.

Totals 22 yards Pruitt recorded two receptions on two targets for 22 yards in Sunday's 34-31 win over the Colts.

Impact Pruitt was one of three Titans' tight ends to record a reception, though Geoff Swaim worked as the top player at the position. It was the second consecutive week that Pruitt has tallied multiple catches after failing to do so in five of the first six games of the season. Even so, with only 11 targets halfway through the campaign, Pruitt is unlikely to see reliable volume moving forward.

Scores again Pruitt recorded two receptions on three targets for 27 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-3 win over Kansas City.

Impact Pruitt matched his highest target total of the season. He got the Titans on the board with a five-yard touchdown reception from Derrick Henry on a trick play early in the first quarter. Pruitt also hauled in a 22-yard pass early in the second quarter to record his second gain of more than 20 yards on the campaign. Though he's now found the end zone in consecutive contests, Pruitt does not have a consistent enough role in the passing game to be a trustworthy producer.
