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.
