Flowery Branch —
Because Devonta Freeman suffered a concussion Sunday, the Falcons may utilize their rookie running backs more this weekend against the Vikings.
Coach Dan Quinn said he has full confidence in rookie running backs Tevin Coleman and Terron Ward and their abilities to run the ball if Freeman is inactive.

Coleman, a rookie out of Indiana, was named starter to start the season, but fell to second in the depth chart upon a rib injury against the Giants on Sept.
