Falcons running back Devonta Freeman suffered a foot injury and did not practice Wednesday, according to the team’s official injury report.

Freeman played in the season opener and then missed three games with a bruised knee. He returned against Pittsburgh on Sunday, but was ineffective as he had six carries for 32 yards.

Defensive tackle Grady Jarrett (ankle) did not practice, but worked off to the side with the trainers.

Also, cornerback Justin Bethel (knee), wide receiver Mohamed Sanu ( hip) and defensive end Derrick Shelby (groin) were limited in practice.
