Age: 25
Draft: 2023 3rd round (Kansas City Chiefs)

2026 Outlook

Acquired by Falcons on 2026-06-11 in a trade with Kansas City (ATL sent 2027 6th-round pick, received Morris + 2027 7th-round pick). Morris started 16 of 43 games with Chiefs, with a career-high 11 starts in the 2024 season. Suffered a season-ending left knee injury in Week 14 of the 2025 season after only one snap of play. Only allowed 3 QB pressures and 0 sacks across 28 pass-blocking snaps in 2025. At 25, Falcons view him as a potential future starter for a left-handed QB room (Michael Penix Jr. and Tua Tagovailoa). (per Wanya Morris trade grades: Falcons acquire young Chiefs OT in late-round pick swap)

Role / Depth Chart

Backup/developmental option. Falcons acquired Jawaan Taylor separately this offseason, suggesting Morris is viewed as a long-term investment rather than an immediate starter.

Injury Status

Season-ending left knee injury suffered Week 14, 2025 season. Recovery status for 2026 training camp TBD.
