grow closer to kicking off the regular season Sunday against the Pittsburgh Steelers, they'll do so with injury questions surrounding a pair of starters.Landman was also limited in Monday's practice, and Morris initially forecasted Landman doing a little bit more Wednesday, but it ultimately proved unfruitful. Landman, who's expected to play significant snaps next to Kaden Elliss has been dealing with his quad injury for over two weeks.
Pitts, similarly, had a hamstring injury occur "a couple weeks ago," Morris said, but the Falcons are unconcerned about the star tight end's long-term prognosis."Went out there and practiced the other day for us and did a really good job," Morris said. "Just trying to be transparent about all that stuff -- we've had issues like that around here before. really hadn't affected him too much.
"He's been full go for a while now," Morris said. "Once training camp started, he's been full go. I wouldn't send him out there limited against the Pittsburgh Steelers." The Falcons -- with Cousins and Pitts, but perhaps not Landman -- will begin the season at 1 p.m. Sunday inside Mercedes-Benz Stadium.Daniel Flick is an accredited NFL writer for Sports Illustrated's FanNation.
