Steven Jackson hurt; could Atlanta pursue Brandon Bolden?

Jay Adams of the Atlanta Falcons tweeted that running back Steven Jackson injured his hamstring in practice on Tuesday, but should be ready for the season opener.

Steven Jackson injured his hamstring yesterday. Will be ready for Week 1. Was not the same hammy as last year. #aftc14

So, why is this relevant? The Falcons could be in the market for a running back and Brandon Bolden is on the bubble fro the Patriots. I have my doubts, but Steven Jackson hurt his other hamstring last season, so it would make sense if the Falcons are looking for someone to step in case of another injury.

It does seem like a stretch to me, but Brandon Bolden is on the bubble in the Patriots system, so maybe he'd be successful in Atlanta.
