FLOWERY BRANCH —
Running back Tevin Coleman was declared the winner of the Falcons’ running back derby on Tuesday.
“That’s (how) we’ll start off,” Falcons coach Dan Quinn said. “We are still working through some of the things. But (Coleman) is how we’ll start it off.”
Coleman, who rushed for 56 yards on eight carries in the exhibition season finale against Baltimore, was elated with the news.
“It’s been real tough,” said Coleman, who suffered a hamstring injury on Aug.
