Falcons rookie running back Devonta Freeman left the field with an undisclosed injury on Monday. He was back at practice on Tuesday.
"Davonta is fine," Falcons coach Mike Smith said after practice. "Devonta was just dehydrated from practice and we wanted to be very precautionary, take him off the field. We got him rehydrated and he's ready to go."
Freeman, a fourth-round draft pick, accounted for 107 total yards on 11 touches in the exhibition opener against Miami. He rushed for 50 yards on 10 carries and caught a pass for 57 yards.
The Falcons are already hurting at the running back position. Steven Jackson, who’s listed No. 1 on the depth chart, has been out with a left hamstring injury. He's started light workouts with the trainers.
