The Falcons won't know if backup quarterback D.J. Shockley will play again this season until Sunday, following a consultation of team trainers and doctors.
Shockley injured his knee while running during Atlanta's 13-10 preseason victory over Buffalo Friday night. His undetermined status adds another layer of uncertainty to a position that was thrown into disarray when Matt Schaub was traded to Houston, starter Michael Vick was indicted on federal dogfighting charges and Joey Harrington was forced into the starting role.Shockley had an MRI Saturday. The initial diagnosis was a sprain but the possibility was left open that he could have suffered more serious ligament damage.
"Obviously, he was distraught," Harrington said after Friday's game. "That's not anything you'd like to ever have happen. We're all pulling for him in his recovery. From the looks of things, it may be a little while before he gets playing again."

Shockley was 4-of-5 for 46 yards passing and added 18 yards rushing on three carries. He was replaced by second-stringer chris redman.

Wow, Petrino's first year in Hot-lanta's quickly turning into a nightmare season. Bet he wishes he'd stayed at Louisville right about now. Heck, he'd have a better starting quarterback - Brohm instead of either Harrington or Redman!

Damn tough break for D J - I really like him as a person and player. Hope he rebounds and gets a chance to show his skills.

As for the Falcons...... all we have is defense

Suddenly Joey Harrington is looking better and better...

I think Joey will be adequate in this offense - then next year we can draft a future QB. I'm sure Petrino knows a good one.
