Falcons place Kaleb McGary on IR without return designation

Atlanta Falcons starting right tackle Kaleb McGary will miss the entire season after being placed on injured reserve without a designation to return Tuesday.

McGary suffered a leg injury last Wednesday in practice and was carted off the field. He appeared to be favoring his left leg. Falcons head coach Raheem Morris said last Friday night that McGary would be out for "significant time."

McGary, known as a potent run blocker, would have had an increased role this season in Atlanta covering the blindside of left-handed quarterback Michael Penix Jr.

Storm Nortom, Atlanta's swing tackle and the player who would have replaced McGary in the lineup, also is injured.
