ATLANTA (AP) -- Four weeks of constant upheaval on defense have made it difficult for the Atlanta Falcons to enjoy any continuity in practice or games in their disappointing 0-4 start.
Defensive coordinator Raheem Morris is hoping to have some starters return from injuries in Sunday's game against Carolina.
Atlanta's secondary has been hit especially hard. Safety Damontae Kazee suffered a torn Achilles tendon in the Falcons' 30-16 loss at Green Bay on Monday night and will miss the remainder of the season.
Kazee is the fifth starter in the secondary to suffer an injury.
