If Pitts Misses Time
Next man up: Charlie Woerner
Charlie Woerner is next on the Falcons depth chart at tight end. Tight end targets would mostly move to the receivers, so he's a streaming option at best if Pitts misses time.
Who else it affects
His absence would move work to the rest of the offense, and Cooper Rush would lose one of his main options.
