Source: Atlanta Falcons safety Damontae Kazee to miss rest of season with torn Achilles

Atlanta Falcons starting free safety Damontae Kazee has a torn Achilles tendon and will miss the remainder of the season, a source tells ESPN's Jeremy Fowler.

Kazee suffered the injury in the second quarter of Monday night's loss to the Green Bay Packers and was carted off the field. He fell to the ground, grabbing the back of his left leg, and was in obvious pain while being checked by the training staff.

Falcons coach Dan Quinn and team owner Arthur Blank consoled Kazee, who is in the last year of his contract, after the game.
