Confidence rising for Patriots CB Justin Coleman with more playing time

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- If New England Patriots cornerback Tarell Brown is out for Sunday night’s game against the Indianapolis Colts, as expected, undrafted rookie Justin Coleman is likely the next man up as the No. 3 option at the position.

After playing 42 snaps against the Jaguars as the No. 3 corner, and then 26 last Sunday in Dallas as the No. 4 option, Coleman feels some positive momentum building.

“It definitely has raised my confidence level,” he said. “Overall, it’s good to have this experience. I just want to get a lot more plays in, which means I want to make a lot more plays to help us win.
