The Atlanta Falcons lose reserve QB D.J. Shockley for the season
D.J. Shockley will miss the entire 2007 season after he tore his ACL last Saturday Night. This might really hurt Shockley’s career as he was in a heated battle with Chris Redman to secure the backup job on the Falcons. In two pre-season games Shockley completed 9 of 17 passes (52.9%) for 123 yards with an interception. He also carried the football 4 times for 19 yards (4.8 ypc). Look for the Falcons to make a move before the season starts to bring in another QB because they aren’t sure if Chris Redman can handle the backup job.
