The Facts: Freeman, who’s been receiving most of the plays with the first-team offense in training camp, suffered a hamstring injury in practice on Thursday. “Hopefully it is a quick turnaround for him to get back,” Falcons coach Dan Quinn said. “He’s such a passionate competitor. You could see how disappointed that he was not to be able to finish today. Hopefully, we can get him back out there soon.”

Diehards Line: According to AJC.com staffer D. Orlando Ledbetter, Freeman was running outside and was taken to the ground hard. Freeman, who was being consoled by wide receiver Roddy White, was attended to by the team’s trainer. He did not return to the action. ... The Falcons worked on their two-minute offense with Terron Ward, an undrafted rookie from Oregon State, as the running back with the first-team offense. Running back Tevin Coleman is also out with a hamstring strain. We'll follow up as needed.
