The Birmingham Stallions have added to their QB confusion this week, re-activating Matt Corral to the roster – but also placing Alex McGough back on IR, according to Steve Irvine.
Corral has been on IR since week six, since suffering a hip injury back in week four. Matt took over in week two, after McGough went down with an injury on the first snap against Michigan. Corral ended up leading the Stallions to three wins, against the Renegades, Panthers, and Roughnecks.
The original diagnosis for Matt made it seem like he could come back after a week or two, but he was then placed on IR – and has missed the last six games.
Now, he returns – but at a cost. Alex McGough, who was re-activated from IR a couple weeks ago, has once again been placed on the list. McGough was the team’s starter to begin the year, but his potential return can now be put to bed.
With Corral back on the active roster, it’ll be interesting to see how Skip Holtz approaches Sunday’s playoff game.

In other news, OL Jarron Jones is also not on the roster anymore. Jones went to IR back in week three, having played limited snaps (33) in a rotational role the first couple of games. The veteran…
