Falcons right tackle Jawaan Taylor misses mandatory minicamp

Atlanta Falcons right tackle Jawaan Taylor will not participate in the team's mandatory minicamp from June 16-18 due to an undisclosed injury. Head coach Kevin Stefanski indicated he is not concerned about Taylor's readiness, noting that he is intelligent and picking things up well. Taylor's absence comes after the unexpected retirement of Kaleb McGary, prompting the Falcons to trade for offensive lineman Wanya Morris. Morris, who has limited starting experience compared to Taylor, is expected to fill in at right tackle until Taylor returns, ideally by training camp in July. The minicamp is the final practice session before the summer break.
