Shon Coleman knows he might have to restrain himself Sunday.
The third-round draft pick watched from the sidelines throughout OTAs and minicamp as he recovered from a minor knee surgery. His motivation grew and grew as he spent his summer in Berea receiving the necessary rehab to get him ready for the start of training camp.
On Friday, Coleman participated in his first NFL practice, working at right tackle with the second-team offense. On Sunday, he’ll don pads for the first time since he lined up with Auburn against Memphis on Dec. 30, at the Birmingham Bowl.
