FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. – Atlanta Falcons veteran defensive end Dwight Freeney might play through a quadriceps tear, provided he feels better before Sunday’s game against Green Bay and the team gives medical clearance. But Freeney plans to be wise about the injury at the same time.
"It’s a day-to-day situation," Freeney said Friday without detailing the severity of the tear or which quad he injured. "It happened in the fourth quarter [last week]. It was a quad tear coming around the corner. You know how quad injuries are or any injuries are, it’s depending on how you feel as a player.
