Falcons' Kyle Pitts dealing with unspecified injury, absent from the field at OTAs

Kyle Pitts, the Atlanta Falcons tight end, is absent from early 2025 preseason activities due to an unspecified injury, as reported by Falcons coach Raheem Morris. While the team remains cautious, Pitts is still participating in meetings and team activities off the field. Drafted fourth overall in 2021, Pitts has not fully met expectations, with his best season stats in his rookie year. As he approaches the end of his rookie contract, trade rumors circulate, but the Falcons are likely to retain him, considering the new Michael Penix Jr. era. However, keeping him healthy is a key priority regardless of future team plans.
