Atlanta running back Devonta Freeman has fully recovered from a concussion and will be back on the field when the Falcons visit the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday.

The Falcons’ loss against the Vikings on Sunday was the first game Freeman hadn’t competed in during his two years with the team. White and the rest of his teammates continue to express their support in quarterback Matt Ryan, who is slumping. Ryan has to get back on track this week to lead his team and prove that he is indeed capable of leading his team once again.
The Atlanta Falcons veteran receiver has been adamant about fixing a broken offense, particularly considering how the defense has held up better than expected.
“It was a hard lesson where somebody can come out of the stack to get the ball”, Quinn said.
Of course, the Falcons have arguably the most risky deep threat in the league in Julio Jones. “There’s no doubt about it. I’ve made a number of mistakes this year”. “We’re actually 1-5 in the last six games”.
If one is to bet on it, though, it is likely that everyone wants to share his opinion on the mediocre offense the team is now facing. “I don’t know if it’s protections or just the throws or routes that they’re throwing into but he just hasn’t looked as comfortable to me the last few weeks when we were watching the most previous games”. “Let’s make sure we are finding the things that we do really well and emphasize and stress those things as often as we can”. With four straight losses the Falcons are still somehow in the hunt for the NFC Wild Card spot in the playoffs, but the margin for error is shrinking. He has been solid, but no spectacular. He has run for 764 yards and nine touchdowns this season while also catching 48 passes for 420 yards and two touchdowns.
“We put O’Brien Schofield in our base package some at the SAM backer, so those are kind of some of the tweaks that we did along the front”. I think Roddy can at certain times, too. Kicker Matt Bryant (quad), who has struggled at times this season, was placed on the injury report last Wednesday and didn’t play against the Vikings on Sunday.
Last week against the Indianapolis Colts, the Buccaneers were able to move the ball up and down the field, but had to settle for two field goals en route to scoring only 12 points.

Notes: WR Leonard Hankerson isn’t practicing this week and likely won’t play. Right guard Chris Chester (shoulder) did not practice on Wednesday.
