Falcons RB Devonta Freeman out of concussion protocol

Aug 29, 2017

Falcons running back Devonta Freeman returned to practice on Monday in one of the final steps he had to take before being cleared from the concussion protocol and no red flags that would have led to a longer stay were triggered once he got back on the field.

Coach Dan Quinn said Tuesday that Freeman is out of the concussion protocol and cleared for full action for the first time since getting hurt on August 13.

Fantasy Impact:

Freeman won’t play on Thursday in the preseason finale, but clearing the protocol leaves him on track to play when the Falcons begin the regular season against the Bears on September 10.

It would be a shock if the Dolphins don't come away with a new feature back this offseason. Gaskin and Ahmed showed promise, but they are best as rotation backs.

Fantasy Impact:

Miami has been rumored to be interested in free agent Aaron Jones, and both Leonard Fournette and Le'Veon Bell have also been mentioned as options. Wolfe also states that Alabama's Najee Harris and North Carolina's Javonte Williams would be "tantalizing" for the Dolphins, who boast overall picks three and 18 in the NFL Draft.

From @NFLTotalAccess WFT QB Alex Smith will be a free agent, likely today, and he becomes an intriguing option in the QB world.

'If you're looking for a potential landing spot for Alex Smith, don't sleep on the Bears."

Fantasy Impact:

Expected to be let go by Washington in the coming days, Alex Smith could possibly reunite with Matt Nagy in Chicago. The two spent time together for the Chiefs from 2016-2017.
