A.J. McCarron & Katherine Webb Married: Could Former Alabama Quarterback's NFL & Cincinnati Bengals Jersey & Career Be At Risk Because Of Andy Dalton & Injuries?

Former Alabama quarterback A.J. McCarron is lucky he has wife Katherine Webb to keep him company, as there's growing concern that his NFL career may already be in tatters. Yes, that means your McCarron Cincinnati Bengals jersey might be useless. The rookie QB is competing with Andy Dalton for the starting job, and it's believed he was far behind the veteran. However, could he be a lot further behind than anyone envisioned? The star has shoulder problems that mean he cannot practice. Without practice he is likely to fall behind given the fast, viscous pace the NFL moves at. Could his career be done before its begun?

He recently showed up at camp with shoulder tightness, and he needs a long rehab, meaning all he can do is get his head in the books. That's okay for a smart QB like A.J., but we all know he'd rather be out there getting in the physical shape that's required to compete in the NFL. He may not practice for six weeks, which could seriously harm his chances of ever being a success in Cincinnati.

The fifth-round selection has a lot of promise, but it's clear he needs time and effort to replace Dalton, especially considering the veteran just landed a new long-term contract. McCarron has the mental strength to bounce back, but this obstacle may make his NFL career, or at least his Bengals career a tough task, and one step too far.

At least he has Miss McCarron to keep him company. The pair have been dating for a long while, and recently married, and she's been nothing but supportive through all of his career ups and downs. It's clear he's going to need her now more than ever.
