Terrell Suggs will miss the remainder of the 2015 season with a torn Achilles tendon.

Many players in the locker room were visibly shaken by the news, and wide receiver Steve Smith Sr. and linebacker Courtney Upshaw choked up when talking about losing Suggs.

"That's our leader. The motto here is next man up, and you're going to hear everybody saying that," Upshaw said. "But you never want to lose a guy like him. He's been a cornerstone for this defense for a long time."

Suggs turn 33 next month and may elect to retire.
