Coleman, Tamme return for Falcons
Falcons running back Tevin Coleman and Jacob Tamme returned to practice today after missing time with injuries.
Coleman has been out since suffering a fractured rib in the first half of the Week 2 game at the Giants.
“It was tough going through the injury,” Coleman said. “I just fought through it and kept getting treatment.”
Coleman started and played the bulk of the snaps before his injury but Devonta Freeman has emerged as the featured running back in his absence. Coach Dan Quinn said Freeman’s role would decrease with the return of Coleman but that both backs would get opportunities.
Tamme sat out the Texans game on Sunday after he suffered a concussion the week before at the Cowboys. He has eight catches for 104 yards in three starts.
Quinn said linebacker Justin Durant (elbow) and Roddy White (persona) are not practicing today. Both players started against the Texans.
