Atlanta Falcons coach Dan Quinn stopped short of saying running back Devonta Freeman will return to practice this week while going through the concussion protocol.
Freeman did not travel with the team to Pittsburgh for Sunday's 17-13 exhibition loss to the Steelers. The two-time Pro Bowler, who got banged up during practice, obviously wanted to be with his teammates.
Damn I wanna be out there with my boys
Quinn addressed Freeman's status after the game when asked if the running back would be back practicing in preparation for Saturday's grand opening of the $1.
