FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. -- Atlanta Falcons receiver Harry Douglas is out for the season after suffering a knee injury.

Injury Throws Off Falcons' Plans
The news that wide receiver Harry Douglas is out for the season is devastating for the Falcons, writes Pat Yasinskas. The injury, combined with Roddy White's continuing holdout, leaves Atlanta thin at wide receiver. Blog

Coach Mike Smith says Thursday that Douglas suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee in a drill on Wednesday and will miss the season.

The loss of Douglas leaves the Falcons short-handed at the position while 2008 Pro Bowl receiver Roddy White is holding out for a new contract. Douglas was filling in for White with the first-team offense in training camp.


Good Lord!, these guys are dropping like flies...I guess this is the year of the torn ACL in the NFL.
