Falcons' Coleman could be out 2-3 weeks

Falcons running back Tevin Coleman has a fractured rib and could missed up to two to three weeks, according an ESPN report.

The Falcons rushing attack got off to a good start against the New York Giants before fading over the last three quarters.

Some of that was related to rookie running back Tevin Coleman, who suffered a rib injury in the second quarter that was severe enough for him to be carted off the field. He did not return to the action.

Coleman had nine carries for 32 yards, including a long of 11 yards and a 1-yard touchdown run. In the season-opening 26-24 win over the Eagles, he rushed for 80 yards on 20 carries.
