Former Alabama quarterback A.J. McCarron has played for numerous teams in the NFL, but has had a difficult time finding his way into the starting role. On Saturday, McCarron took the field with his new team, the Atlanta Falcons, in their Week 2 preseason contest against the Miami Dolphins.
Unfortunately, McCarron had to leave the game early due to a serious knee injury that resulted from a non-contact play. It was later revealed after an MRI, that McCarron suffered a torn ACL and will not be available to return in the 2021 NFL season.
The Atlanta Falcons now must look for a new quarterback to add to the depth chart, as they only have their starter, Matt Ryan, and backup rookie, Feleipe Franks.
