A former Auburn Tiger will be looking for another chance in the NFL.
[autotag]Shon Coleman[/autotag], a former Auburn offensive lineman, was released by the Indianapolis Colts on Tuesday. Coleman most recently played for the San Francisco 49ers from 2018 to 2020.
Coleman first played meaningful snaps for Auburn in 2013 after being diagnosed with leukemia out of high school and battling it in 2011 and 2012, where he was a redshirt freshman and then a freshman. He was Greg Robinson’s backup in 2013, when Auburn went the national championship against Florida State, but had his first starting year in 2014 when he was named to the All-SEC second team.
Coleman was drafted in the third round of the 2016 NFL draft by the Cleveland Browns. He started all 16 games in 2017, but was traded to the 49ers the year after. Due to injuries, he wasn’t able to play, and he then opted out of the 2020 season due to COVID-19 concerns. He was cut from the team after going on injured reserve in 2021 and, most recently, signed to the Colts’ practice squad in 2022.
Coleman hasn’t played a snap of a regular-season NFL game since 2017, so it will likely be an uphill battle to land on another team before the season starts.
