FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. -- The Atlanta Falcons have relied heavily on a 1-2 punch at running back.Devonta Freeman may have to carry the load for a while.Tevin Coleman is hobbled by a hamstring injury, keeping him out of practice Wednesday and raising doubts about his status for Sundays game in Atlanta against the Green Bay Packers.The Falcons (4-3) already juggled the 53-man roster to bolster their depth in the backfield, promoting Terron Ward from the practice squad and signing another NFL-tested running back, Stevan Ridley.But Freeman figures to get most of the carries if Coleman cant go.You know how the NFL is, Freeman said with a shrug. Next man up.Coleman, who was hurt in last weekends overtime loss to San Diego, will likely be rehabbing his injury the rest of the week. Coach Dan Quinn isnt ready to rule him out against the Packers.We dont know the extent of where Tevins injury will be, Quinn said. Well take it all the way through the week and then make our determination.The coach is optimistic that Coleman wont be out for an extended period.Were hopeful its going to be shorter than longer, Quinn said. He felt better today. Hell participate in some running and rehab, but he wont practice.Freeman has rushed for 508 yards, averaging 4.8 yards per carry and scoring two touchdowns, while Coleman has run for 234 yards with a 4.0 average and five TDs. Both are also key members of the passing game, with Freeman ranking third on the team with 22 receptions for 169 yards and Coleman going for 330 yards on 19 receptions.Atlanta would love to have them both on the field against Green Bay (4-2), which has allowed just 71.8 yard per game to rank first in the NFL against the run. No matter what, dont expect the Falcons to abandon the balance that is a hallmark of their high-scoring offense. They lead the league with an average of 32.1 points a game.Theyre a great defense, Freeman said, but I feel like were a great offense.If Coleman cant go, Ward figures to be the top backup. He played in 13 games as a rookie, rushing for 95 yards and catching nine passes, only to get forced to the practice squad in his second season when Coleman claimed a more substantial role and a rash of injuries at linebacker left the Falcons needing an extra roster spot.Ward took his demotion without complaint and is eager to show hes capable of stepping in when needed.You work to play on Sundays, he said, sitting at his locker before practice. Its another opportunity, and Ive got to make the most of it.The 27-year-old Ridley was a key contributor at New England his first three seasons, rushing for 1,263 yards and 12 touchdowns in 2012. But a severe knee injury two years ago sidetracked his career, and he hasnt played at all this season after getting cut by both Detroit and Indianapolis during the preseason.He impressed the Falcons during a workout Tuesday, though his tenure with the team will likely be determined by how long Coleman is out.Quinn cant wait to have his top two backs together again.They make a terrific tandem, the coach said. We love the back and forth. Were bummed that Tev got banged up in the game the other day, but Free is totally capable of handling the workload.---Follow Paul Newberry on Twitter at www.twitter.com/pnewberry1963 .

Ryan Garbutt had a goal and two assists as Dallas snapped a six-game losing streak with a 5-2 victory over the Edmonton Oilers on Tuesday night. Deion Sanders Jersey .ca. Hey Kerry, big fan of yours, just finished reading your book. I think that we all saw the Canucks/Flames line brawl just after puck drop. It was obvious that something was about to happen, even to the referees because the fourth lines were on to start. http://www.falconsrookiestore.com/Falcons-Kaleb-Mcgary-Jersey/ . It was just business as usual for the Thunder at home. Durant scored 32 points and the Thunder beat the Bulls 107-95 on Thursday night for their eighth straight win. Tony Gonzalez Falcons Jersey . -- Jakob Silfverberg is making himself right at home with the Anaheim Ducks, scoring four goals in his first four games. Brett Favre Falcons Jersey . -- Adam Snyder returned to the San Francisco 49ers this season because the offensive lineman thought it was his best opportunity to win a championship.Little more than two weeks ago, David Warner was all about patience and batting for long periods of time in Asia.Youve got to be patient enough, he said before the first Test against Sri Lanka. Youve got to rotate the strike. Your patience comes with hitting your four-balls, your boundary balls. Theyre the ones youve got to really wait on. Thats what were talking about with patience in this game, especially over here. Youve got to bite the bullet.A pair of Test-match thrashings later, and with another bone-dry pitch in prospect at Colombos SSC ground, Warner and the Australians have rather changed their tune. Now Warner is all about attack, as he demonstrated in a pair of shot-a-ball cameos on the sharply turning Galle surface. Waiting for the bad ball is not longer an option. He who hesitates is lost, or at least lbw Herath.You have to think outside the box, Warner said. For me to come out of my crease personally its something I dont normally do but you have to do it in these conditions. If you defend, ones got your name on it, and ones going to straighten, which happened the other day. For me its about thinking on my feet, using my feet when Im out here and hopefully putting the bowler off some of his rhythm.Youre sitting ducks when youre facing six balls in a row - one of them is going to have your name on it. Especially when one turns and one doesnt turn. Its a hard game. People dont realise that youre going out here day one and day two and its turning square, where maybe five or six years ago probably day three, day four was probably when it was turning. So its hard from ball one and we really have to work hard and that starts in the nets.The nets have seen almost as much change in Australian philosophy as Warners rhetoric. Josh Hazlewood and Mitchell Starc charged in at their batting compatriots in Pallekele training, but now they are sent to wwork separately on centre wickets with Allan Donald while the batsmen face an assortment of spinners - including the part-time leggies Warner and Steven Smith trying off breaks.dddddddddddd.At the teams main training session on Thursday, Adam Voges warmed up separately from the group due to a tight hamstring, but then trained fully with the team, including his own stint at the bowling crease. The newly arrived apprentice batsman Travis Head whirred down his own offbreaks too, before batting in the canary yellow pads he will use when the ODI series begins after the third Test.As vice-captain, Warner is aware of how this tour may influence planning for the next Asian trip, to India next year. He noted the words of captain Smith about potentially needing to choose a squad even more tailored to the prevailing conditions than this one, with a rather different batting group taken to India. Regardless of what happens at the SSC, questions will need to be asked.Thats probably the Moneyball theory isnt it, you pick players for certain conditions, Warner said. End of the day were all professional athletes and you have to adapt to the conditions. If you dont adapt to them, your heads probably on the line. For us as cricketers we have to do the best we can in these conditions and adapt as well as we can.If the selectors dont think we fit that area of expertise, whether or not we can play in these conditions or play at home, thats up to them if they want to go down that path and pick the team based on that. [India] is our next subcontinent tour so I think there will be a few assessments made. I think the selectors may have to reassess a few things and whatever they think is necessary, theyll take the appropriate action Im pretty sure. ' ' '
