Atlanta Falcons offensive coordinator Dirk Koetter envisions between 15 to 25 touches per game for new running back Todd Gurley, provided the running back's left knee remains healthy throughout the 2020 season.
The Falcons currently have the 26-year-old Gurley on a "load management" plan in preparation for the Sept. 13 season opener at home against the Seattle Seahawks. Gurley sat out two padded practices during training camp thus far but participated in Monday's scrimmage, although he did not have a heavy workload.
The Falcons hope the 2017 NFL Offensive Player of the Year can provide run-game balance to what has been a pass-heavy offense.
