Falcons QB D.J. Shockley will miss the season after tearing his ACL in the Falcons’ preseason game Saturday.

And a bad QB situation turns to dreadful. Shockley, a hometown hero from UGA who was battling Chris Redman for the backup job, damaged his MCL and must wait for the swelling to subside before having surgery. Shockley wasn’t expected to play much this year, but was the only QB on Atlanta’s roster with any promise. Casey Bramlet moves up into the third-string role.

Falcons QB D.J. Shockley, who is recovering from ACL surgery, expects to be ready to play by the start of 2008.

Shockley, who had the most long-term potential of any Falcons quarterback, could have gotten extended playing time in the mess that is the QB situation in Atlanta. Depending on the team’s off-season moves, Shockley could compete for a backup job in 2008.
