The Atlanta Falcons saw starting Right Tackle Kaleb McGary carted off the practice field on Wednesday and also received the news that potential fill-in Storm Norton would miss 6-8 weeks after undergoing a procedure on his ankle. With some questions about the quality of depth along the offensive line could the Falcons make some noticeable adjustments to their offense to help protect Michael Penix Jr.?
It take away some options for Michael Penix. You're going to have to keep backs in, tight ends in to chip and help out with the protection," says Randy McMichael. "Everybody knows where you slide the protection, and so it has its disadvantages. I'm not saying it wasn't going to be like that with Kaleb there, there were still going to slide."
Among those who are going to be given the opportunity to start at Right Tackle if McGary is out could be Elijah Wilkinson, who took snaps in practice after McGary went out, and also potentially Brandon Parker or Jack Nelson who were listed behind Kaleb McGary on depth chart.
