Falcons Face Key Linemen Injuries After Chiefs Loss

The Atlanta Falcons will be without starting center Drew Dalman for at least four weeks due to a high left ankle sprain. Additionally, right tackle Kaleb McGary suffered an MCL sprain, with the severity yet to be fully determined. Both injuries occurred during Sunday night's narrow 22-17 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. Backup linemen Ryan Neuzil and Storm Norton filled in for Dalman and McGary, respectively, but the Falcons struggled with protection and offensive consistency. Head coach Raheem Morris emphasized confidence in his backups despite the injuries, which could significantly impact the team's performance moving forward. The Falcons are now 1-2 and face a challenging path ahead in the NFC South standings.
