It's become an unwelcome rite of spring for the Spokane Shock. The AFL team is dealing with injuries, again, at the quarterback position.

Starter Carson Coffman didn't make it through the first half of the season opener. He hurt his knee when he was sacked by Arizona's Tyre Glasper. Backup Warren Smith was injured last week. Jarrett Brown, released in training camp, was pressed into duty against the Rattlers and the team is expected to have an AFL veteran participate in practice today.
