Possibly torn MCL so Pitts is getting a second opinion.

Falcons head coach Arthur Smith said Kyle Pitts (knee) is out for the season. 

Pitts had surgery on his injured knee last week and won't play again in 2022, per Smith, who said the injury doesn't concern the team long term. Pitts' 2022 campaign was among the most disappointing in recent fantasy football history, through no fault of his own. All of Pitts' underlying metrics say he is an elite pass catcher who will, one day, be an NFL superstar. Pitts was seventh in yards per route run among tight ends; first in tight end air yards; first in average depth of target among tight ends; and first in targets per route run. The relentlessly run-heavy nature of the Atlanta offense made it impossible for Pitts (or Drake London) to post consistent fantasy numbers thanks to a lack of weekly pass routes and target volume. Pitts, 22, should be among the first few tight ends off the fantasy draft board in 2023.

Teams are calking about him but I expect us to keep him.

I'm assuming teams are trying to buy low since he's injured.
