Jets RB Tevin Coleman healthy with 'a lot left in my tank'

New York Jets running back Tevin Coleman is feeling healthy again and confident as ever after a down season last year with San Francisco

Leading member of committee in OTAs Coleman's working with the starters to begin OTAs but is splitting reps with Ty Johnson and Michael Carter, Connor Hughes of The Athletic reports.

Impact It looks like the Jets are headed for a running back by committee approach, but Coleman appears to be the front-runner to head up that committee. Hughes added that Coleman seems to have put last season's injury troubles behind him. Carter has a level of burst that Coleman and Johnson seem to lack, but the rookie's smaller frame will likely limit his opportunities by the goal line. If Coleman can secure most of the goal-line touches in the Jets backfield, he'll have a nice opportunity to emerge as the team's most valuable fantasy option at running back.

Likely part of committee Coleman is listed among the backups on the Jets' running back depth chart put together by Tyler Calvaruso of USA Today.

Impact Coleman has familiarity with offensive coordinator Mike LaFleur's system, but Calvaruso believes Ty Johnson has the early upper hand in the crowded Jets backfield after his strong finish to the 2020 season. LaFleur likes to take a committee approach in the backfield, so Coleman likely will share the workload with Johnson, as well as rookie fourth-rounder Michael Carter and possibly La'Mical Perine or Josh Adams.

Jets sign DE Curry, agree on deal with RB Coleman

The New York Jets added experience and depth on both sides of the ball with their latest moves in free agency

MARCH 24, 2021 • Associated Press

Joining familiar faces with Jets Coleman agreed Wednesday with the Jets on a one-year contract worth up to $2 million, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Impact Coleman will reunite in New York with head coach Robert Saleh and offensive coordinator Mike LaFleur, both of whom are familiar with his skill set from their overlapping tenures in San Francisco. The 27-year-old is coming off a disastrous 2020 campaign, during which a knee injury forced him to miss eight games and he was limited to just 53 rushing yards on 28 attempts (1.9 yards per carry). Coleman's history of reliability prior to 2020 could be enough to keep him ahead of Ty Johnson and La'Mical Perine on the Jets' depth chart, but New York could be eyeing a running back with an early selection in April's draft.

Suffers huge dropoff in 2020 Coleman was limited to 28 carries for 53 yards over eight games this season.

Impact Coleman's production took a huge nosedive in his age-27 season, as he was pushed into a reserve role and averaged just 1.9 yards per carry (worst mark of his career). The fact that the veteran was bypassed by his current head coach (and former offensive coordinator in Atlanta) when injuries opened up the starting role at various points of the year is a sign that the back's skills have diminished. Coleman will enter the offseason as a free agent, but a depth role seems like the best-case scenario for the former dual-threat running back.

Three yards in win Coleman had two carries for three yards and caught his lone target for no gain in Saturday's 20-12 win over the Cardinals.

Impact Jeff Wilson Jr. (23 touches for 204 total yards and a touchdown) dominated the backfield workload after Raheem Mostert (ankle) was placed on IR earlier this week. Neither Coleman (seven offensive snaps) nor Jerick McKinnon (10 snaps) were involved enough in the gameplan to warrant fantasy consideration. Head coach Kyle Shanahan normally deploys a two-back system, but with the playoffs out of sight, perhaps he wanted to see how the 25-year-old Wilson would handle a larger role instead of wasting snaps on Coleman. Given the results of the gameplan -- and the overall disappointing play of both veteran backups this year -- expect Wilson to dominate the touches against Seattle next week.

Sees action late Coleman rushed three times for 11 yards in Sunday's 41-33 loss to Dallas.

Impact Coleman spent most of his day on special teams, but he was able to take the field late in the contest after the starting tandem of Raheem Mostert (ankle) and Jeff Wilson (ankle) both aggravated their respective ankle injuries. The 27-year-old is averaging a career worst 1.9 yards per carry while dealing with injuries and sporadic playing time this season. Coleman would be lined up to take over early and goal-line work -- with Jerick McKinnon spelling him in passing situations -- if the aforementioned duo are forced to miss Saturday's tilt against the Cardinals. The veteran figures to have limited upside even if he gets the call, as the explosiveness he was once known for appears to have dissipated, or at least been hampered by nagging injuries.

Gets no carries against Washington Coleman went without a rush attempt on two offensive snaps during Sunday's 23-15 loss to Washington.

Impact Coleman hasn't re-established himself in the 49ers' backfield since returning from a knee injury Week 13 against Buffalo, collecting just six offensive snaps over the past two contests. A holdover from coach Kyle Shanahan's tenure as Atlanta's offensive coordinator between 2015 and 2016, Coleman had a solid debut campaign with San Francisco last year in amassing 724 scrimmage yards and seven TDs over 14 appearances. His injury-riddled 2020 has been disappointing, to say the least, with Coleman posting a 1.7 yards-per-carry average on 23 attempts.

Struggles with limited work Coleman ran the ball twice for minus-11 yards during Monday's 34-24 loss to Buffalo.

Impact In what was the 27-year-old's first appearance since Nov. 1, Coleman struggled in a limited workload coming off the knee injury. The game script faded Coleman's potential involvement with San Francisco falling into a 17-point third-quarter deficit, but it was clear Raheem Mostert (nine carries) and Jeff Wilson (seven carries) remained the preferred RB options for coach Kyle Shanahan. Coleman has only exceeded four rush attempts in a game once over his four appearances this season. That occasion came Week 2 when he was held to 12 yards on 14 carries during a matchup against the Jets.

Avoids injury report Coleman (knee) wasn't listed on Thursday's practice report, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.

Impact After Raheem Mostert and Jeff Wilson were activated from IR last week, the 49ers backfield is getting healthier by the week with Coleman logging a full session himself Thursday. It'll be interesting to see how much work Coleman will be afforded Sunday against the Bills, but in his three appearances this season he's mustered just 2.4 YPC on his 21 rushes. Fortunately, he's been capable as a receiver, hauling in three of four targets for 34 yards.

Won't play this week Coleman (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Rams.

Impact Coleman was a limited practice participant throughout the week, apparently unable to do enough to gain clearance for Sunday's game. Meanwhile, fellow running backs Raheem Mostert (ankle) and Jeff Wilson (ankle) will be activated from injured reserve, with coach Kyle Shanahan considering both players questionable for Sunday. Jerick McKinnon and Austin Walter are the Niners' other backfield options this week.

Remains limited at practice Coleman (knee) was limited at Thursday's practice, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

Impact There are many moving parts in the 49ers backfield this week. Coleman is aiming for his first appearance since Week 8, Jerick McKinnon avoided the injury report entirely, and both Raheem Mostert (ankle) and Jeff Wilson (ankle) had their 21-day windows opened to return from injured reserve. The situation will continue to be monitored closely to gather how the pecking order may break down Sunday versus the Rams.

49ers getting injured players back, but dealing with COVID

A week off was supposed to give the San Francisco 49ers some time to heal some of the slew of injuries that have derailed the 2020 season

NOVEMBER 25, 2020 • Associated Press

Limited in return to practice Coach Kyle Shanahan said Wednesday that Coleman (knee) will be limited in practice, Keiana Martin of the 49ers' official site reports.

Impact Coleman has only suited up for one contest since Week 2, but it appears that he's made substantial progress in his recovery coming off San Francisco's bye. Raheem Mostert (knee) is considered day-to-day after having been designated for a return from IR, Chris Biderman of The Sacramento Bee reports, so it's conceivable that the 49ers' top two running backs could both be back in action against the Rams on Sunday.

Hoping for Week 12 return Coach Kyle Shanahan hopes Coleman (knee) will be available for the 49ers' next game Sunday, Nov. 29 against the Rams, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

Impact The same can be said for Raheem Mostert (ankle, IR), so San Francisco may have its top two RBs back in the fold following the team's Week 11 bye. If that comes to pass, Shanahan will have the above duo -- plus Austin Walter and potentially Jerick McKinnon (neck) -- available out of the backfield while Jeff Wilson (ankle) and JaMycal Hasty (collarbone) stay on injured reserve.
