Falcons running back Devonta Freeman, who’s hoping to land a contract extension with the team, reported for training camp Wednesday, according to the team.

Freeman did not report during the open media period from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m., but apparently arrived later.

He’s also expected to practice when the team hits the field at 9:30 a.m. Thursday.

His agent, Kristen Campbell, reportedly left town without striking a deal with the team, according to NFL Network.
