Kyle Pitts Misses Practice Friday, Will Play Sunday

Kyle Pitts Misses Practice Friday, Will Play Sunday

one year ago

Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts (personal) missed Friday's practice due to a personal matter but was removed from the final Week 10 injury report, so he will be active on Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals. Pitts stepped away from the team for the birth of his son. The 23-year-old has been a frustrating fantasy starter this year, especially with Jonnu Smith seeing an increased role in the passing game in recent weeks. Top wideout Drake London (groin) will make his return in Week 10 after a one-game absence, too. Pitts' only trip to the end zone was in Week 6, and he's been overshadowed by Smith the last several weeks. He should have more upside with quarterback Tyler Heinicke under center for the second straight week, but Pitts is on the TE1/2 borderline against Arizona.
