Falcons RB Devonta Freeman likely to practice this week

The Falcons have been without starting running back Devonta Freeman for the past two weeks as he recovers from a foot injury. Head coach Dan Quinn gave an update this morning, saying he anticipates Freeman will return to practice this week:

Freeman is having one of his worst years while Atlanta’s offensive line has been injured and ineffective at times this season. In the nine games he’s played in, he’s averaged just 3.5 yards per carry, with zero rushing touchdowns.

Backup Ito Smith is out for the season, while Brian Hill has been just as ineffective as Freeman. The Falcons’ rushing attack is ranked 31st in the league in yards per game.

Coming off Sunday’s loss to the Buccaneers, Atlanta has to quickly regroup and prepare for its Thanksgiving matchup with the Saints.
