Panthers' Davis: Freeman was concussed last week, Falcons didn't disclose
Atlanta Falcons running back Devonta Freeman was knocked out of Sunday's game with a concussion, but a previous opponent believes he actually suffered the ailment last week.
After Freeman exited with a concussion against the Dallas Cowboys, Carolina Panthers linebacker Thomas Davis - who faced the running back last Sunday - tweeted that the injury actually happened when they faced off, and that Freeman should have been removed from that game.
The Hitchens hit didn’t knock Freeman out. He was concussed in our game last week and should’ve been taken out. Scary site but praying he’s good though.

Freeman appeared on the injury report this week with a knee injury, but there was never any mention of a possible concussion.
He lasted two carries against the Cowboys before being forced out.
