The Facts:
Crumpler had shoulder surgery in late February, president and GN Rich McKay confirmed Tuesday. The Falcons did not reveal the injury until now, three weeks before the start of training camp. McKay offered no explanation as to why the injury and subsequent arthroscopic surgery was kept private for so long. "I don't see there being any problem," McKay said. "I'm sure we'll bring him along at the right pace. We'll watch him, but he'll be OK."

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Crumpler, the Falcons' leading receiver the past two seasons, had the labrum and rotator cuff in his right shoulder repaired in late February after playing in his third consecutive Pro Bowl. The surgery is not expected to prevent Crumpler from participating in training camp but could limit his availability in preseason games and practices, according to McKay. ... We'll watch Crumpler closely in coming weeks and report further as developments warrant.
