Atlanta Falcons running back Devonta Freeman was knocked out of Sunday's game with a concussion, but a previous opponent believes he actually suffered the ailment last week.

After Freeman exited with a concussion against the Dallas Cowboys, Carolina Panthers linebacker Thomas Davis - who faced the running back last Sunday - tweeted that the injury actually happened when they faced off, and that Freeman should have been removed from that game.

Freeman appeared on the injury report this week with a knee injury, but there was never any mention of a possible concussion.

He lasted two carries against the Cowboys before being forced out.
