Tevin Coleman in concussion protocol after falling in shower
The NFL has never taken concussions more seriously than it does at the moment. In the case of Atlanta Falcons rookie running back Tevin Coleman, that concern extends to any head injures that occur off the field as well.
While it's never a good karma to make fun on someone's misfortunes, this has to be the first time an NFL player has been put in the concussion protocol for slipping in the shower.
The Falcons could likely use Coleman's services Sunday, as they take on the undefeated Carolina Panthers in a divisional battle.
Coleman, a third-round draft pick out of Indiana, has 392 yards rushing and one touchdown on the season and at one point was expected to start or split time with Devonta Freeman. However, injuries slowed Coleman down to start the season, and Freeman exploded and was selected to the Pro Bowl.
If Coleman is unable to play Sunday, the Falcons will likely rely heavily on Freeman, as they have most of the season.
