Birdseed: Falcons-Chargers Edition

By J. Michael Moore | Published: August 29, 2009

By J. Michael Moore | Published: August 6, 2009
D.J. Shockley knows what Harry Douglas is going through. The quarterback was scrambling out of the pocket in a 2007 preseason game at Buffalo when he tore an ACL in his knee. He went on injured reserve for the remainder of the season. Wednesday Douglas, a second-year wide receiver, tore a ligament during one-on-one drills. He’s also done [...]
