The quarterback carousel for the Spokane Shock continues.
For those unaware, QB Carson Coffman was knocked out in the third quarter of Friday's game against the Sabercats with a shoulder injury. According to the 700 ESPN Spokane Shock post-game show, Coffman was seen on the field with a sling around his right shoulder, which just happens to be the same arm he uses to throw.
The Shock didn't reveal the extent of Coffman's injury, but the 4-year AFL veteran revealed Monday on social media that he sustained a separated AC joint in his shoulder with a picture of his x-ray. According to 700 ESPN in a 1-minute Spokane SportsCenter news update, the post has since been deleted. ArenaFan reporter Adam Markowitz tweeted that Coffman will require surgery to fix his shoulder. ArenaFan also took a screenshot of the post.

Although it's not confirmed, it's highly likely that Coffman will be out for the rest of the season, as recovery from surgery is around three months. This means that QB Arvell Nelson and QB Warren Smith, the latter of whom was benched in favor of Coffman against Portland two weeks ago, will take the snaps under center for the rest of the season.
