Falcons injury news: Devonta Freeman’s foot not long-term, but unsure if he plays week 6 against Buccaneers

2018 has turned into an unending slew of injuries to countless key players, and Devonta Freeman is no exception. He finished out Sunday’s game against the Pittsburgh Steelers without any known issues, then popped up midweek with a foot injury that kept him out of practice.

Freeman’s injury was later reported as a foot contusion. Per Google, that’s basically a bad, painful bruise. That is not preferable, but per ESPN’s Dan Graziano, not nearly as bad as the bone contusion that kept him out three games.

On Falcons RB Devonta Freeman: I am told the team isn't as worried about his new foot injury as it was about his Week 1 knee injury, which cost him three games.
