Atlanta Falcons running back Tevin Coleman will not be playing against the on Sunday, after he slipped in the shower.

Someone give Tevin Coleman some sandals, because he’s been caught slipping.

After slipping in the shower and receiving a concussion, Atlanta Falcons running back Tevin Coleman will not be playing on Sunday, against the Jacksonville Jaguars, according to Ian Rapoport.

The rookie running back had been part of a one-two punch with Devonta Freeman in Atlanta this season, and the Falcons have very high hopes for him in the future.

With the Falcons needing a lot of help to get in the playoffs, they’re going to need all hands on deck for the final two games of the season. The Jaguars have been much improved this season, and are bringing an air attack the Falcons’ defense has to be ready for.

In this type of game, the Falcons will want to slow things down and pound it out with their running back. With Coleman slipping in the shower and receiving a concussion, he will not be an option for the Falcons on Sunday, which means that there will be a lack of numbers to run the ball in the backfield.
