The battle for the Falcons’ backup QB job possibly just swung in Feleipe Franks’ favor after AJ McCarron walked off the field with a knee injury. McCarron has been ruled out for the game.
On the previous play, McCarron took off and ran for a first down but took a pretty strong hit in the process.
AJ McCarron has a right knee injury and will not return.

Feleipe Franks is now the quarterback for the remainder of the match if McCarron cannot return.
