Atlanta Falcons star running back Devonta Freeman was ruled out of Sunday's game against the Dallas Cowboys due to a concussion, per Kelsey Conway of the team's official site.
Freeman was injured on just the second offensive play of the game for Atlanta. He finished with three yards on two carries.
Freeman, 25, has established himself as one of the game's premier running backs coming into the 2017 season, with 3,175 yards from scrimmage and 27 touchdowns between the 2015 and 2016 campaigns. He was a vital focal point of the team's Super Bowl run last year, with 330 total yards and three touchdowns in the playoffs.
