Damontae Kazee - Page 5 - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Tests positive for COVID-19 Kazee was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday after he tested positive for the virus, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Impact The Cowboys have been dealing with a COVID-19 outbreak recently, and Kazee will be away from the team due to the league's health and safety protocols. Both Kazee and Malik Hooker are now on the COVID-19 list, and it's not yet clear whether they'll be ready to return by Week 1. If the two safeties are unable to play to begin the regular season, Darian Thompson and Tyler Coyle are candidates to see increased playing time.

Reunites with Quinn in Dallas Kazee (Achilles) has signed a one-year contract with the Cowboys, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Impact Kazee played under Cowboys defensive coordinator Dan Quinn when Quinn was the head coach in Atlanta, so perhaps that familiarity attracted the safety to Dallas. He tore his Achilles after four games last season but is expected to be fully healthy for training camp with his new team.

Falcons hope low-cost free agent class will make big splash

With little money to spend in free agency, the Atlanta Falcons are looking to make a splash with high-character players who don’t take a big chunk out of the budget

MARCH 25, 2021 • Associated Press

Not expected back in Atlanta Kazee (Achilles) is not expected to re-sign with the Falcons, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Impact Kazee was a 16-game starter during his first three seasons with the Falcons, but a torn Achilles tendon limited him to four contests in 2020. The 27-year-old safety is expected to receive full clearance by training camp, so barring any setbacks his health shouldn't prove much of an issue as he looks for a team in free agency.

Officially placed on IR The Falcons placed Kazee (Achilles) on injured reserve Wednesday, Will McFadden of the team's official site reports.

Impact Kazee tore his Achilles in Monday's loss to the Packers, so he'll be shut down for the season. The Falcons may struggle to replace him in the short term, as Keanu Neal (hamstring), Ricardo Allen (elbow) and Jaylinn Hawkins (concussion) were all on Wednesday's injury report. Kazee will focus on getting healthy for the 2021 season, but he may be playing with a new team since his current contract expires in March.

Torn Achilles confirmed Kazee suffered a torn Achilles during Monday's loss to the Packers and has been ruled out for the year, Will McFadden of the Falcons' official site reports.

Impact Kazee hasn't missed a game since entering the league in 2017, and he's been a key member of the Falcons' secondary this season, recording 20 tackles (17 solo) and a forced fumble through four games. Ricardo Allen (elbow) likely will take over at free safety if he's healthy. Kazee is expected to spend the rest of the season on IR, and he'll become a free agent in March.
