Atlanta Falcons running back Caleb Huntley will have season-ending surgery for an Achilles injury, coach Arthur Smith confirmed Monday.

Huntley, 24, sustained the injury in the first quarter of Sunday’s 21-18 loss to the New Orleans Saints.

Undrafted in 2021, Huntley made his NFL debut in Week 2 this season and appeared in 12 games.

He rushed 76 times for 366 yards (4.8 average) and one touchdown and added two receptions for 3 yards.

Huntley twice topped 1,000 rushing yards during four seasons at Ball State from 2017-20. He finished with 2,902 yards.
