Tevin Coleman sprained his knee in the 49ers’ Week 2 win over the Jets. The ailment sent him to Injured Reserve where he spent five weeks before returning to practice in a limited fashion in the lead up to Week 8. He didn’t make it through the first half before re-injuring his knee.
Head coach Kyle Shanahan following a 37-27 loss to the Seahawks told reporters Coleman exited Sunday’s game in the first half because he re-aggravated his previous knee issue.
He looked good in the early going with 20 yards on three carries. Then he was mysteriously absent until an update from the 49ers PR staff at halftime said Coleman was questionable with a knee injury. A short while later he was ruled out.
With another game coming Thursday for the 49ers, Coleman’s status remains up in the air.
