Atlanta Falcons safety Keanu Neal suffered a torn ACL and is out for the season, the team announced Friday.
Neal was injured in the first half of the Falcons' Thursday night loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFL's season opener.
A 2017 Pro Bowler, Neal had three forced fumbles, two fumble recoveries and an interception last season. He was credited with two tackles Thursday before leaving the game.
Damontae Kazee, a 2017 fifth-round draft pick, replaced Neal after the injury. Kazee's hit on tight end Dallas Goedert as he was attempting to catch a pass in the fourth quarter led to a Deion Jones interception.
