The Atlanta Falcons have placed star tight end Kyle Pitts on the injured reserve, forcing him to miss at least the next four games due to a MCL injury.
"He has such a huge impact on this team," Smith said."I know the numbers aren't as gaudy as they were as a rookie and he's been playing through a lot, and he's a tough guy and he has had a huge impact."
Kyle Pitts #8 of the Atlanta Falcons carries the ball after a reception as Ross Cockrell #43 of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers defends during the second quarter at Mercedes-Benz Stadium on December 05, 2021 in Atlanta, Georgia. In turn, Pitts went from putting up 1,026 yards on 68 receptions with one touchdown over 17 games last season, to potentially ending this year with 356 yards on 59 catches with two touchdowns. Pitts’ rookie season was the first time a rookie tight end surpassed 1,000 yards in a season.However, Pitts made an emphasis this past offseason to work on his blocking and the other aspects of being a tight end to fill out his game.
