Freeman rushed six times for 25 yards in Sunday's 19-13 win over the Falcons.
Freeman was efficient with his opportunities but saw recent signing Ameer Abdullah take on a larger role than him, as Abdullah garnered 11 touches in his Carolina debut. Chuba Hubbard commanded 25 touches as the starter, so it was a busy backfield for the Panthers. However, with Christian McCaffrey (hamstring) reportedly on track to return in Week 9 versus the Patriots, Freeman and company should all see their respective roles reduced.
