Former Colt A. Q. Shipley has torn his ACL and is gone for the year

I figured he was gone a long time ago.

He was in line to be the starter

Is he still with the Cards?

Yes he was

He was a starter the moment he left the Colts.  I always thought he was our best center when he was here and I never understood him leaving.

The reason I thought he was gone from the Cards is because I remember thinking they have drafted guys to replace him over the years.  Apparently they haven't worked out and AQ still survives.

You deserved better, AQ. Dammit

My pops is a Cards guy so I watch and keep up on them and AQ did decent last year for them. Too bad.

AQ’s measurements didn’t meet the standard.  But he survived because he knows and understands leverage. He was also a leader, so AZ gave him a contract extension through 2019 despite being 32 and on IR for an ACL. Show what he has meant for the Cards since they picked him up.

The Ship has sailed on A.Q.'s season if not his career.
