Gallman had appeared in six games this season for Atlanta, rushing for 104 yards on 28 carries. He also had one reception for 21 receiving yards.
Ollison had five carries for 23 yards during Sunday’s win over the Panthers, but also fumbled the ball. After the game, Falcons head coach Arthur Smith said he wasn’t concerned about the fumble and has faith in Ollison.
