Injured Falcons backup QB recovering from ACL surgery
Falcons quarterback and Atlanta native D.J. Shockley spent the eight-week anniversary of an operation to repair a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee Tuesday by having team trainers bend the joint to where the pain was near indescribable.
Q. On that note, with there being some turnover and injuries at quarterback with Joey Harrington and Byron Leftwich, do you ever think about being in line to play had you remained healthy?
A. Absolutely. If I didn't do it I'd be lying. I've done it on occasion when I've been watching games and other times. If I don't hear it from my inner self, I hear it from outside, family members, close friends. A lot of people say, 'That could be you out there. You might be starting now.' I have to bring myself back down sometimes and not question why it happened and know I have other things that have been planned for me. Any other thoughts other than getting better are really a waste of my time.
It's good to hear about Brian Finneran also.
