That was the case for Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts on Friday.
Pitts had fully participated in Thursday’s practice without any injury issues.
However, on Friday, he was marked as a limited participant due to a knee injury.
The Falcons play on Monday night this week, allowing for another day of injury updates on Saturday. His status then will provide more clarity.
If he was listed as limited on Friday because of an injury sustained during practice, the severity won’t be clear until his participation, or lack thereof, on Saturday.
Should Pitts be questionable, it poses a dilemma for fantasy managers relying on him for the final game of the week on Monday night.

Is Kyle Pitts playing this week?
We really don’t have an answer yet.
We’ll get more insight from Saturday’s injury report.
His backup tight end, Charlie Woerner, is competent and would likely get significant playing time if Pitts is unable to go.
