Falcons rookie free safety Damontae Kazee suffered a sprained ankle Sunday against the Steelers and will not play against Arizona at 7 p.m. Saturday at Mercedes-Benz Stadium.

“Kazee will be out this game with a sprained ankle,” Falcons coach Dan Quinn said Tuesday. “We’ll take him through all of this week, and we’ll see what it looks like for the game after that.”

Kazee, a fifth-round pick out of San Diego State, has been impressive as the Falcons are moving him from cornerback to safety.
