INJURIES
Falcons QB AJ McCarron out for season with torn ACL: Source
McCarron injured his knee on a non-contact play in Saturday's preseason game against the Dolphins.

Headed for MRI
Falcons head coach Arthur Smith said McCarron would require an MRI after suffering a right knee injury in Saturday's 37-17 preseason loss to the Dolphins, Michael Rothstein of ESPN...
Impact
Atlanta won't provide an update on the extent of McCarron's injury until the results of his MRI are available, but Smith wasn't encouraged by the quarterback's initial prognosis after picking up the non-contact injury while exchanging a handoff with running back Qadree Ollison in the second quarter. If McCarron is sidelined to begin the season, undrafted rookie Feleipe Franks would be the next man up on the depth chart behind starting QB Matt Ryan.

Suffers right knee injury
McCarron suffered a right knee injury and will not return to Saturday's preseason game against the Dolphins, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Impact
McCarron walked slowly to the sideline after the injury and immediately into the medical tent. He was quickly ruled out of the game, with Feleipe Franks taking over under center in his place. Prior to his exit McCarron had completed three of his six pass attempts for 43 yards.

Set to start Saturday
McCarron will start Saturday's preseason contest against the Dolphins, D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
Impact
The Falcons are expected to rest most of their starters, leaving McCarron to operate as the top signal caller with the rest of the second-string unit. The veteran backup struggled mightily in the preseason opener, completing just five of his 12 attempts for 36 yards and a pick.

Backing up Matt Ryan
McCarron is signing a one-year deal with the Falcons, NFL reporter Aaron Wilson reports.
Impact
Ian Rapoport of NFL Network believes it's a sign that the Falcons aren't likely to selected a quarterback in the second round of the 2021 NFL Draft. The team already passed on that opportunity in the first round, selecting TE Kyle Pitts at No. 4 overall. McCarron has thrown for only 1,173 yards and six touchdowns in the NFL, but he'll definitely have talent to work with if he gets on the field in Atlanta, home of Pitts, Julio Jones and Calvin Ridley, in addition to 35-year-old QB Matt Ryan.

Barely any action in 2020
McCarron only handled one offensive snap while appearing in two games for the Texans in 2020.
Impact
McCarron did get a chance to throw the ball on his only play of the season, a pass which he completed for a gain of 20 yards. The 30-year-old signal-caller is scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent this offseason, but he shouldn't have any difficulty finding another backup role.

Fills in for one play
McCarron replaced quarterback Deshaun Watson for one play in Sunday's 36-7 loss to the Bears.
Impact
Watson was removed from the game after taking a hit on the elbow, but he returned for Houston's next offensive series. McCarron entered on a fourth down and was sacked on his lone play.

Ready for Sunday's contest
McCarron will back up Deshaun Watson in Sunday's game against the Bears.
Impact
McCarron missed the final practice of the week for non-injury related reasons, but he's good to go Sunday. Josh McCown (coach's decision) is inactive, leaving McCarron and Watson as the Texans' lone quarterbacks.
