During the 2018 season, S Keanu Neal suffered a season-ending ACL tear in Week 1 and was later placed on injured reserve.

He fought to get back on the field for the start of the 2019 season and it seems like it’s over already.

On Sunday, Neal went down with a non-contact knee injury and his reaction was of someone who knew his season might be over.

Ian Rapoport reports that Falcons S Keanu Neal is believed to have a torn Achilles.

#Falcons S Keanu Neal is believed to have torn his Achilles in today’s game, source said. When the MRI confirms, he’ll have surgery this week and should be good to go well before the 2020 season. Another bad-luck injury for Neal, but he’s battled back before.
