The Atlanta Falcons today established an eight-player practice squad consisting of wide receiver Troy Bergeron, offensive lineman Michael Butterworth, linebacker Robert James, defensive end Maurice Lucas, cornerback Glenn Sharpe, quarterback D.J. Shockley, offensive guard Jose Valdez, and defensive tackle Vance Walker. Shockley was originally signed as a seventh round draft selection by the Falcons in 2006 and served as the team’s third quarterback in his rookie campaign and 2008. He was placed on injured reserve in 2007 after suffering a knee injury in a preseason contest against Buffalo. Source: AtlantaFalcons.com
