Atlanta Falcons quarterback AJ McCarron 'heartbroken' after right knee injury in preseason defeat

Atlanta Falcons backup quarterback AJ McCarron left the game in the second quarter of Saturday night's 37-17 loss to the Miami Dolphins with a right knee injury.

While Falcons coach Arthur Smith didn't want to speculate on the exact nature of McCarron's injury until after the veteran has an MRI, he did not sound encouraged by the possible prognosis.
