Falcons have offensive position battle just as important as the one for QB1

Do Falcons have the answer at right tackle?

As the start of the 2026 NFL season nears and players start reporting to training camp, the Atlanta Falcons will be full go as veterans report next week and their first full practice will be held on Wednesday, July 29.

And while most eyes will be on the quarterback position will be the point of focus as Michael Penix Jr. and Tua Tagovailoa are expected to battle for the starting quarterback role, 92-9 The Game’s Carl Dukes and Mike Bell explained while there is another offensive battle just as important.

“Is our right tackle position going to be secured,” Bell asked as he expressed concern in regards to the Falcons addressing the loss of Kaleb McGary, who announced his retirement in April and presumed backup, Storm Norton being place on the physically unable to perform list last month.

“Where are we going to be with the blindside,” continued as he shared thoughts on the potential of Jawaan Taylor, who the Falcons signed to a one-year deal in April, being able to fill the void and provide the Falcons with quality, penalty free play at the position. “Can Bill Callahan get this guy back to the guy he was when they [Chiefs] were winning Super Bowls and he got a big contract with the Chiefs,” Bell said.
