The Atlanta Falcons, who saw running back Tevin Coleman go down with a hamstring strain on Sunday, added two running backs -- veteran Stevan Ridley and practice-squad player Terron Ward -- to the 53-man roster Tuesday.Coach Dan Quinn did not announce an immediate timetable for Colemans return, but ESPN Insider Adam Schefter reported Coleman is unlikely to play against the Green Bay Packers this weekend.We just have to find out the severity of it and find out when his strength can get back, Quinn said of Colemans strain.
