Atlanta Falcons running back Tevin Coleman had a great start to his game in Week 2 of the NFL Season, scoring his first career touchdown.

An injury spoiled the party though, nad Coleman was carted off the field with an injury.

The Falcons tweeted out that it was a rib injury and that Coleman was questionable to return to the game. Carting a player off the field for a rib injury seems a bit extreme, however.

Either way, hopefully Coleman isn’t seriously injured and he will be able to return shortly, either this game or by next week. Rib injuries aren’t anything to play with, especially someone who takes as much punishment as an NFL running back does.
