You never want to hear that three of your team's players have been involved in a car accident, especially when one of those three is newly anointed starting quarterback and hope of the franchise.

Yet here's ESPN's Pat Yasinskas telling us exactly that. Fortunately for all involved, the accident turned out to be minor. Apparently Matty Ice, Shock and Brian Finneran were in the car at the time heading to Flowery Branch and were able to keep going after the rain-caused crash. I can't imagine Falcons fan would take kindly to our guys being rear-ended by some random dude in a Honda Civic.

After last year's spate of weird injuries, legal troubles and other mishaps, it'd be nice if this was the worst we saw this season.
