Running back Tevin Coleman (hamstring) and cornerback Desmond Trufant (shoulder/pectoral) are expected back at practice for the game against Arizona after the bye week, according to Falcons head coach Dan Quinn.

Coleman has missed the last three games after suffering the injury against San Diego on Oct. 23.

Trufant left the Tampa Bay game in the second quarter and didn’t play against Philadelphia.

“He’s improved with his shoulder,” Quinn said.
