The Detroit Lions announced that they have removed starting corner Justin Coleman from reserve/COVID-19 list.
Dave Birkett of the Free Press is reporting that Coleman was asymptotic after testing positive and that would line up with the shorter timeline of return. His next step is to receive a physical from team doctors at Allen Park and then he can join the team’s strength and conditioning program already in progress.
After beginning the week with eight players on the reserve/COVID-19 list, Coleman joins Matthew Stafford — who was removed earlier in the day after receiving a false-positive report –, and Isaac Nauta yesterday, leaving the Lions still have five players remaining on the list:
- WR Kenny Golladay
- TE T.J. Hockenson
- CB Amani Oruwariye
- S Jalen Elliott
- P Arryn Siposs
