Falcons running back Tevin Coleman suffered a foot injury Tuesday and did not practice Wednesday.

“Tevin Coleman has a slight roll of his foot yesterday,” coach Dan Quinn said after Wednesday’s practice. “He’s doing fine. He’s doing his rehab run today, and we could have him back in a limited fashion tomorrow or the following day.”

Coleman, who’s expected to share the running back load with Devonta Freeman and return kickoffs, was not dressed out for practice. He wore his white jersey and red shorts during the padded practice.

“He’s had a great camp,” Quinn said. “He had a blister there too, and that compounded it. But I envision him being back into this thing really quick.”
