NFL Workout Updates: 10/6/20

October 6th, 2020 at 6:12pm CST by Sam Robinson

Workout updates stand to be sparser going forward, with Mike Garafolo of NFL.com noting the NFL has moved to, in light of some teams’ recent issues with the coronavirus, cap workouts at five per week (Twitter link). However, the rule will not apply to teams that place more than three players on IR in a week, Garafolo tweets. In those scenarios, teams would be permitted to work out 10 players in a week. That said, here are the top developments from the workout circuit, as of Tuesday evening.

Atlanta Falcons

Chicago Bears

Cincinnati Bengals

Cleveland Browns

Houston Texans

Indianapolis Colts

New Orleans Saints

Falcons’ Damontae Kazee Done For Year

October 6th, 2020 at 9:39am CST by Zachary Links

Falcons safety Damontae Kazee suffered a torn Achilles in last night’s game against the Packers, according to ESPN.com’s Jeremy Fowler (on Twitter). Unfortunately, the diagnosis didn’t come as a huge surprise after Kazee was carted off the field. 

Kazee, 27, was hoping for a big platform season in the final year of his rookie contract. The opportunity was there for him, too, with a slew of injuries in the secondary. Now, he’ll focus on rehab so that he can showcase himself to teams — or land a fresh deal with the Falcons — in the spring.

The versatile former fifth-rounder has started in 34 of his 52 career games for the Falcons, including virtually all of his appearances from 2018-2020. In 2018, Kazee made some serious noise as he led the league with seven interceptions. Last year, he followed up with three INTs, plus 74 total stops.

The Falcons dropped to 0-4 on Monday night without the services of cornerbacks A.J. Terrell and Darqueze Dennard or safeties Keanu Neal and Ricardo Allen. Now, they’ll turn their attention to the Panthers in Week 5.

Falcons Place CB Darqueze Dennard On IR

September 29th, 2020 at 1:54pm CST by Sam Robinson

Already down first-round cornerback A.J. Terrell, the Falcons will be without another key cover man Monday night against the Packers. They placed Darqueze Dennard on IR on Tuesday.

Dennard is battling a hamstring injury. The Falcons signed the former Bengals first-round pick late in the offseason and used him as a full-time player over the first three weeks. Dennard, a six-year Bengals contributor, has played 86% of Atlanta’s defensive snaps.

The Falcons still have Terrell on the reserve/COVID-19 list, from which he can be activated ahead of the Packers game. But for now, a Falcons defense that continues to struggle against the pass is down two key performers. The team has yet to see 2019 fourth-round pick Kendall Sheffield play this season because of a foot injury, but Vaughn McClure of ESPN.com tweets the second-year corner is out of a walking boot.

The Falcons followed up their Cowboys collapse by allowing the Bears to erase a 16-point fourth-quarter deficit, adding obvious importance to their game in Green Bay.
