Devonta Freeman and Tevin Coleman should be close to returning, and they're doing all they can to be prepared once they are physically able to take the field.
The Falcons have been vocal about improving the run game, but we haven't necessarily seen the talk translate into production on the field over the course of the first two preseason games. Against the Titans in week one and the Jets this past Friday, the Falcons have averaged 1.9 yards per carry on 53 rushing plays.
Granted, the Falcons have doing this without presumably the top two backs on the roster, Devonta Freeman and Tevin Coleman, who have been sidelined for some time with hamstring injuries.
