Falcons running back Tevin Coleman, who has the sickle cell trait, is set to play at the high altitude in Denver.

“We are aware of the situation back in 2007 with Ryan Clark, sickle cell anemia which is different that sickle cell trait,” Falcons coach Dan Quinn said. “There have been a number of guys who have had sickle trait and have played in Denver over the last nine years and certainly before then. We fully intend of Tev playing and playing well.”
