Falcons' Tevin Coleman: Iffy for Week 8

Coleman (hamstring) appears unlikely to play Sunday against the Packers, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Analysis:

Meanwhile, ESPN.com relays that coach Dan Quinn said he'll know more about Coleman's hamstring strain in the next couple of days, but at this point the running back is looking pretty iffy for Week 8. For now, Devonta Freeman is the only other RB on the Falcons' active roster, though Terron Ward is on the team's practice squad and seems likely to be promoted in short order. If Coleman ends up missing Sunday's game, it would presumably result in added touches in the Atlanta offense for Freeman this weekend.
