Freeman (foot) didn't participate in practice Wednesday, Vaughn McClure of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

As anticipated by coach Dan Quinn, Freeman didn't step on the practice field Wednesday, but there's a chance he gets out there Thursday and/or Friday. Consequently, the Falcons' two remaining practice reports of Week 12 will give an indication of whether or not his recovery from a sprained foot extends into another game.

Coach Dan Quinn said that Freeman (foot) won't participate Wednesday in the Falcons' first practice of Week 12, Vaughn McClure of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Quinn wouldn't rule Freeman out from practicing Thursday and/or Friday, however, keeping hope alive for the running back to return from a one-game absence to play Sunday against the Buccaneers. While Freeman's sprained foot kept him from playing in the Falcons' Week 11 win over the Panthers, Brian Hill was thrust into the lead role out of the backfield but failed to capitalize on the opportunity, carrying 15 times for 30 yards and bringing in one of three targets for an eight-yard gain.

Freeman (foot) has been ruled out for Sunday's game in Carolina, Vaughn McClure of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

A report at the beginning of the week suggested Freeman was likely to miss a couple games due to a foot sprain. He doesn't appear to have practiced in any capacity this week, so a return for the Falcons' subsequent game Nov. 24 against the Bucs could be a challenge. Brian Hill is expected to lead the Atlanta backfield versus the Panthers, though coach Dan Quinn mentioned that Qadree Ollison would also have a role, per McClure. Additionally, the team could hand some work to scatback Kenjon Barner, who had one carry on 10 snaps in last week's 26-9 win over the Saints.

Freeman (foot) wasn't spotted at Friday's practice, D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

EDGE Analysis

It's possible Freeman could get some work in behind the scenes Friday, but it's more likely he will be held out of practice for the third day in a row. Freeman hasn't officially been ruled out for Week 11 just yet, though his chances of playing appear slim at this stage. Brian Hill looks in line to serve as the Falcons' lead back Sunday against the Panthers.

Freeman (foot) didn't practice Thursday, D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

EDGE Analysis

With a sprained foot in tow, Freeman has been unable to do any on-field work this week, which isn't a shock considering he's expected to be sidelined for roughly two weeks as a result of the injury. Once the Falcons rule Freeman out for Sunday's game at Carolina, the backfield officially will be the domain of Brian Hill, with Kenjon Barner and Qadree Ollison in reserve.

Freeman (foot) will be held out of Wednesday's practice, D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

EDGE Analysis

Freeman's lack of participation doesn't come as much of a surprise, given that he's in danger of missing roughly two weeks due to a sprained foot. Per Vaughn McClure of ESPN.com, coach Dan Quinn called Freeman a "long shot" for Sunday's contest against the Panthers but hasn't yet ruled him out, though the veteran seems unlikely to suit up before Week 12 at the earliest. Brian Hill is the favorite to take the reins in Atlanta's backfield as long as Freeman is unable to go, making Kenjon Barner and Qadree Ollison candidates to play rotational or reserve roles.

Freeman may miss approximately two weeks due to a sprained foot, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Falcons haven't outright ruled Freeman out for any game action, but he seems unlikely to suit up Sunday at Carolina and potentially Week 12 against the Buccaneers following an MRI on his foot. With Ito Smith (concussion) on injured reserve, Brian Hill is set to lead the Falcons' backfield while Kenjon Barner and Qadree Ollison also could have roles.

Freeman is scheduled to have an MRI on Monday to determine the extent of the foot sprain he suffered in Sunday's win over the Saints, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

For now, Freeman's status for Week 11's game against the Panthers is cloudy, but if he's limited or out for the contest, Brian Hill -- who carried 20 times for 61 yards and hauled in a 10-yard passing TD in relief of Freeman in Week 10 -- would be in line for an expanded role in the Falcons attack.

Freeman won't return to Sunday's contest in New Orleans due to an ankle injury, D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

EDGE Analysis

What was earlier reported as a foot issue is instead affecting Freeman's ankle. In any case, with Freeman and Ito Smith (neck, IR) out of commission, Brian Hill is leading the Falcons' backfield. Meanwhile, Kenjon Barner and rookie Qadree Ollison are in reserve.

Freeman suffered a foot injury during Sunday's contest at New Orleans, Kelsey Conway of the Falcons' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Prior to his departure, Freeman amassed 10 carries for 38 yards and three catches (on four targets) for 10 yards. With No. 2 running back Ito Smith (neck) landing on IR in advance of this game, the Falcons have been whittled down to three healthy RBs (Brian Hill, Kenjon Barner and Qadree Ollison).
