Update: Jeremy Fowler confirms it’s a torn Achilles for Falcons S Damontae Kazee.
Kazee will miss the rest of the season and should go on injured reserve soon.
The Atlanta Falcons have announced that S Damontae Kazee is out with an Achilles injury.
It was clear this was likely a serious injury for Kazee, who went down grabbing the back of his leg before being carted to the locker room.
Odds are Kazee will be placed on injured reserve in the coming days.
Kazee, 27, was a fifth-round pick by the Falcons out of San Diego State back in 2017. He signed a four-year, $2.68 million contract with the team that included a signing bonus of $288,922.
Kazee is set to become a free agent in 2021.
In 2020, Kazee appeared in four games for the Falcons and recorded 20 tackles, no interceptions and a forced fumble.
