Running back Devonta Freeman will not take the field against the Vikings this Sunday, the team announced. He is still recovering from a concussion he sustained against Indianapolis.

Freeman missed practice all week, including Friday's, meaning he wasn't cleared in time to play. Rookie Tevin Coleman will likely take Freeman's place as the featured back.
Freeman sits at fifth in the NFL with 764 rushing yards and leads all runners with nine touchdowns.
