The Falcons are having a competition for playing time at running back between Devonta Freeman and Tevin Coleman this season, but those plans had to be put on hold on Thursday.
Coleman, a third-round pick this year, sat out practice after suffering a hamstring injury on Wednesday. Freeman wasn’t able to exploit his absence to his advantage, however. Freeman left Thursday’s session with a hamstring injury of his own, although it sounds like he’s already made a good impression on coach Dan Quinn.
“Hopefully it’s a quick turnaround and he can get back,” Quinn said, via the Associated Press.
