Kyle Pitts, the tight end for the Atlanta Falcons, is currently dealing with a hamstring injury that has limited his participation in practice as the regular season approaches. Despite this setback, he has shown signs of being in good health throughout the preseason. The Falcons are optimistic about his performance under new quarterback Kirk Cousins, but they have backup options in Charlie Woerner and Ross Dwelley, who are primarily blockers. Additionally, there are concerns about Pitts' conditioning, but the tight-end coach believes he is progressing well.
