Falcons trim roster to 53
The Falcons made their roster cuts on Saturday to reach limit of 53. Among the most prominent names was quarterback Joey Harrington, the third overall pick in the 2002 draft and a starter for 10 games last season, was the odd man out in an open quarterback competition, in which the Falcons chose to keep local product and fan favorite D.J. Shockley as their No. 3 quarterback to back up rookie starter Matt Ryan. Brant Sanderlin / bsanderlin@ajc.com
