Kyle Pitts Limited with hamstring issue

Coach Raheem Morris said Wednesday that Pitts (hamstring) will be limited in practice, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

Pitts will open Atlanta's first official practice report of the regular season with a hamstring injury, though throughout training camp and the preseason he seemed to be at full health. The fourth-year tight end still has two more chances to upgrade to a 'full' participation level ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Steelers, which will be Pitts' first chance to display what he's able to accomplish with Kirk Cousins under center. The Falcons have Charlie Woerner and Ross Dwelley behind Pitts at the tight end position, but both profile primarily as blockers.
