Tevin Coleman expected to play for Falcons in Denver

Atlanta Falcons running back Tevin Coleman (sickle cell trait) is expected to be active for Sunday's matchup against the Denver Broncos at Mile High Stadium, according to head coach Dan Quinn.

What It Means:

Coleman's sickle cell trait can be problematic in certain conditions, like the high altitudes at Denver's home field. Even if Quinn's expectations are met, Coleman will still likely be on limited snaps in a tough matchup.

Coleman turned eight carries into -2.48 Rushing Net Expected Points (NEP) during the Falcons' victory over the Carolina Panthers in Week 4, according to numberFire Live. His -0.05 Reception NEP were last on the team.
