Kaleb McGary, a 31-year-old offensive tackle for the Atlanta Falcons, has officially announced his retirement after seven seasons with the team. His agent confirmed the news, which was later acknowledged by the Falcons on social media. Drafted with the 31st pick in the 2019 NFL Draft, McGary had a notable career, starting 92 of 93 games. However, he faced challenges in recent seasons, missing the entire 2025 season due to a leg injury sustained during practice in August 2025. Falcons legend Matt Ryan praised McGary as an outstanding teammate and expressed gratitude for his contributions to the organization. To fill the gap left by McGary, the Falcons have signed veteran tackle Jawaan Taylor, formerly of the Kansas City Chiefs, to a one-year deal.
