Falcons have decisions to make at running back for the future

The Atlanta Falcons figured they had a pretty potent running back combo for the future with two-time Pro Bowler Devonta Freeman and home run hitter Tevin Coleman working in unison.

But could Week 5 of the 2018 season have been the last we've seen of the duo?

Freeman is scheduled to undergo groin surgery in Philadelphia on Thursday, meaning he'll go on injured reserve and won't be able to return until after the next eight games. It probably would not make much sense to bring him back if the Falcons (2-4) are out of the playoff picture by late December.
