Fractured rib
Atlanta Falcons HC Dan Quinn said Monday that Tevin Coleman has a fractured rib and declined to put a timetable on the running back’s return. Coleman’s return depends on his pain threshold, Quinn said.
While Quinn wouldn’t put a time frame on Coleman’s absence, the running back is expected to miss a couple of weeks. Coleman will sit out practices Wednesday and Thursday of this week, Quinn said.

Nerdy Football Analysis: Despite Quinn’s “anticipation” the Falcons will not add another back, it is likely they will; UDFA Terron Ward is the only other running back on the roster behind new starter Devonta Freeman. Atlanta expressed some interest in ex-Bronco Montee Ball earlier this month and could revisit signing him at some point this week.
