Freeman out vs. Bucs with foot injury
Bob Donnan / USA TODAY Sports
Atlanta Falcons head coach Dan Quinn ruled out running back Devonta Freeman for this week's matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers with a foot injury, per ESPN's Vaughn McClure.
Freeman hurt his knee in the season opener and missed three games as a result. His return to the lineup lasted just one week, as the star rusher suffered a foot injury during Atlanta's loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 5.
Tevin Coleman will start at running back once again in Freeman's absence, while fourth-round rookie Ito Smith will see an increased workload.
Freeman has just 14 carries to date during his injury-riddled 2018 campaign, accumulating 68 yards.
