The Atlanta Falcons have decided to part ways with wide receiver Ray-Ray McCloud for the time being. His status for future games is currently uncertain.
McCloud’s Recent Absence
McCloud was notably a healthy scratch during last Monday’s victory against the Buffalo Bills. This week, he did not practice, raising questions about his future with the team.
Team’s Statement
The Falcons provided a non-injury reason for McCloud’s absence. Head coach Raheem Morris explained that McCloud was excused from the team as they address certain private matters.
- Morris stated, “I sent him home.”
- He emphasized, “We are working through some things that are private with the young man.”
- This situation is not deemed disciplinary but rather a “football thing.”
McCloud’s Performance
In his second season with the Falcons, McCloud has recorded six receptions for a total of 64 yards. His contribution to the team has been limited, and his absence poses a challenge as the Falcons evaluate their roster options.
As the organization works to resolve issues with McCloud, fans and analysts alike will be watching closely to see how this situation unfolds and what it means for the team’s future.
