The San Francisco 49ers may have won their Week 1 matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, but the debut of free-agent signing Tevin Coleman didn’t go quite as well.
Coleman’s debut with the 49ers only lasted a half as the former Atlanta Falcons running back left the game in the third quarter after suffering an ankle injury. But prior to his injury, Coleman was having himself a nice day.
The 26-year-old had rushed six times for 23 yards and had also hauled in two catches for an additional 33 yards. Not earth-shattering numbers, but Coleman was establishing himself as a reliable piece in a 49ers offense that was struggling to get much of anything going.
