AJ McCarron News
Atlanta Falcons quarterback AJ McCarron (knee) will miss the rest of the year. The veteran signal-caller suffered a torn ACL during Saturday's preseason matchup against the Dolphins. While the team was hopeful that the injury wasn't severe, it now appears as if Feleipe Franks will ascend the depth chart. However, the team will likely be in the market for another backup, although nobody will be relevant from a fantasy perspective unless Matt Ryan were to miss time this season.
Atlanta Falcons quarterback AJ McCarron (knee) was injured during the preseason showdown against the Miami Dolphins on Saturday. Despite reports suggesting that the injury was of the non-contact variety, indicating it could be severe, he may have hurt it during a seven-yard scramble for a first down. Regardless, the journeyman backup didn't return to the contest and was replaced by Feleipe Franks, a rookie out of the University of Arkansas. McCarron will have an MRI on Sunday to determine the severity of the issue. However, if he is done for the year, Franks will likely move up the depth chart behind starter Matt Ryan.
Atlanta Falcons quarterback A.J. McCarron struggled in his first action with his new team Friday against the Titans. McCarron completed 5 of 12 passes for 36 yards and an interception- though it's worth noting that the Falcons offense as a whole was beset by penalties and pressure from the Titans' defense, likely skewing his results a bit. The Falcons signed the 30-year-old to a one-year, $1.2 million contract to be the backup to veteran Matt Ryan, a role that's been uneventful for much of the latter's career, as he's played all 16 games in 11 of 13 seasons. McCarron will look to have a better showing in the Dolphins.
