The Facts: Falcons coach Dan Quinn said that running back Devonta Freeman (groin) "won't make it back" before the year is out on a radio station.
Diehards Line:There was optimism that Freeman would be able to return before the end of the season after undergoing groin surgery, but it appears that things have changed and he will not be returning. It only makes sense as the Falcons have nothing to play for, being out of the playoff hunt. Ito Smith is also on the shelf for the season, so Tevin COleman should operate as their workhorse the rest of the way.
