McGary figures to start at right tackle this season, assuming he’s healthy enough by Week 1.
The Falcons did add offensive linemen Jalen Mayfield and Drew Dalman in the draft, so they do have some options. Smith also gave an update on defensive tackle Tyeler Davison, saying his absence is not expected to be long term.
Arthur Smith said Tyeler Davison is working through something but not expected to be long-term.
Also said P Dom Maggio is working through an injury. They released Hofrichter, who is also injured, but said he’ll be rehabbing and “not the end of the road for him.”
