27 Sep
Summary
- Coleman sustained a high-ankle sprain on his first touch.
- He is expected to miss at least four games.
- Coleman was named an 'Under the Radar' rookie by ESPN.
Denver Broncos rookie running back Jonah Coleman is facing an early career setback after suffering a high-ankle sprain. This injury, sustained on his first touch during the game against the Jaguars, has placed him on short-term injured reserve. Coleman is now expected to miss a minimum of four games, with an anticipated return around late October for the Broncos' matchup against the Cardinals.
Despite this unfortunate turn of events, Coleman had previously shown promise, even playing through the ankle injury during the Week 2 win against Jacksonville. He recorded 10 carries for 39 yards and a touchdown, along with three receptions. Earlier in the year, ESPN's Matt Bowen highlighted Coleman as the NFL's top 'Under the Radar' rookie, praising his quickness, vision, and receiving abilities.
