Devonta Freeman Says He's 'OK' After Suffering Knee Injury vs. Eagles

Atlanta Falcons running back Devonta Freeman told NFL Network's Mike Garafolo he is "OK" after suffering a knee injury late in Thursday's 18-12 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles.

Freeman, who tallied six carries for 36 yards in the opener, was absent for the final few minutes of regulation and was spotted limping on the sideline.

Freeman was originally selected in the fourth round of the 2014 NFL draft out of Florida State, and he quickly developed into a key contributor for the Falcons.

He was named to the Pro Bowl in both 2015 and 2016, as he topped 1,000 rushing yards and scored 11 touchdowns on the ground in each season.
