Devonta Freeman and Tevin Coleman are both expected back from injury soon, although no exact timetable has been given for their returns.
Both running backs are competing for the starting job but are out with hamstring injuries. Antone Smith, who started in their place in Friday’s preseason victory over the Titans, was sidelined himself with a hamstring issue after running in for a touchdown.
The Atlanta Falcons run game struggled to get going in the preseason opener which is a concern for new head coach Dan Quinn, although there should be no panic until Freeman and Coleman get an opportunity.
