Source: Falcons' Desmond Trufant breaks forearm, ending season

ATLANTA -- Atlanta Falcons cornerback Desmond Trufant suffered a broken forearm in Sunday's 40-20 win over the Carolina Panthers and will be out for the rest of the season, a source told ESPN.

Trufant injured what appeared to be his right forearm with just over two minutes remaining before halftime. He walked off the field looking at his right arm and didn't return to the game.

Trufant will have surgery this week, the source said. The one-time Pro Bowler played nine games in 2016 before suffering a season-ending pectoral tear.
