6 years agoAtlanta Falcons running back Ito Smith (foot) returned to practice on Wednesday. Smith, who had over 4500 yards rushing and 1400 yards receiving in college, is looking to lock down his position as the third running back on the depth chart. However, with Tevin Coleman in the last year of his deal a strong camp from Smith could see him challenging for the number two role as the season begins. Smith is also competing for a role in the return game which should at least help ensure his place on the 53-man roster. If Smith can start taking snaps off Coleman he could become a decent running back handcuff to Devonta Freeman.--Ben Rolfe
