birdz4i Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 Reuters Aug 18, 2019, 2:43 PM Atlanta Falcons rookie offensive lineman Kaleb McGary will resume on-field work this week in practice but has not been cleared for contact, coach Dan Quinn said Sunday. McGary, the No. 31 overall pick in the draft, underwent cardiac ablation on July 31, a procedure designed to correct heart rhythm issues. The team said McGary previously had two similar procedures, which are considered minimally invasive. Quinn told reporters that McGary participated in Sunday's walkthrough and will "get a good bit of the field work" with the training and medical staffs. "And then once that's good, we'll be out a couple of weeks, make sure the conditioning is right," Quinn said on the Falcons' official website. "And then back into individual (drills), and then you get back into team (drills). "So we really stay strict to the policy we put into place for the guys to return to it. We just don't back off of it, especially if you've been out for, in his case, two weeks." The 6-foot-6, 306-pound McGary played his college ball at Washington and twice was an All-Pac-12 first-team selection. He also won the 2018 Morris Trophy as the conference's top offensive lineman. Teams were aware of his condition before the draft, and NFL medical personnel cleared him to participate in the scouting combine. Early in camp, the 24-year-old primarily was mostly working at right tackle on the Falcons' second team. --Field Level Media https://sports.yahoo.com/falcons-ol-mcgary-heart-begins-184358144.html HouseofEuphoria, Emmitt, Ergo Proxy and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falcons007 Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 Ease him in to the lineup. As bad as Ty looked, lot of that can be overcome by game planning and preparation for few gamea. McGary can start when he is healthy. papachaz 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

falconidae Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 So, if I read that right, probably another month- another two weeks for conditioning, then individual drills, then team drill, say ,a week each. What sounds really positive is no setbacks. Emmitt, HouseofEuphoria, Ergo Proxy and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ergo Proxy Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 The best we can hope for is he comes back in time to help after month 1. Right now Ty is hurt, too. We need all the bodies we can get. 3 OL have been down for differing lengths already this preseason. Tim Mazetti 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t care if it’s Gono or Ty or McGary. Gono is unkown, he may or may not be the answer going against Good NFL pass rushers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HouseofEuphoria Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 I think he'll be out 3 - 4 regular season games. He'll probably be back week 4. They won't want to bring him in 1st game back against Watt week 5. Even then, i believe he'll be rotational for a while, regardless of who starts at RT.
