Devonta Freeman, Tevin Coleman Limited Wednesday

Atlanta Falcons running back Devonta Freeman (knee) and wide receiver Taylor Gabriel (hamstring) were both limited in practice Wednesday. Freeman didn't practice Tuesday, so this is an upgrade.

Taylor Gabriel, Levine Toilolo Limited Tuesday

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Taylor Gabriel (hamstring) and tight end Levine Toilolo (knee) both did not practice Tuesday.

Julio Jones, Devonta Freeman Not Practicing Tuesday

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones (ankle, ribs) and running back Devonta Freeman (knee) were both held out of practice Tuesday. It's likely that the Falcons are just resting their top two offensive players ahead of the Wild-Card matchup with the Rams this weekend. Jones has been fighting nagging injuries lately, as usual, but he's […]
