Texas Receiver Cam Coleman Practiced Monday Without a Green Jersey After His Shoulder Scare
A Monday practice report offers Texas its best injury news of the week: Cam Coleman, who left the Ole Miss win holding his shoulder, practiced without contact restrictions. Left tackle Trevor Goosby's outlook remains far worse.
Texas wide receiver Cam Coleman practiced on Monday without a green jersey and appeared to be fine, according to a Horns247 report by Chip Brown carried by ClutchPoints early Tuesday. At Texas, a green jersey marks a player working under contact restrictions, so Coleman's return to a normal practice jersey is an encouraging sign after his early exit on Saturday.
Coleman left the Longhorns' 34-27 win over Ole Miss early in the third quarter after landing awkwardly while attempting a diving catch. He finished with one reception for 12 yards and did not return. Head coach Steve Sarkisian expressed concern about Coleman and left tackle Trevor Goosby after the game but gave no specific injury details.
The update is a practice-status report, not an official announcement about Coleman's availability for Saturday's home game against Mississippi State. Coleman leads Texas with six receiving touchdowns through seven games, with 21 catches for 348 yards, an average of 16.6 yards per reception, as a leading target for quarterback Arch Manning.
The news on Goosby remains the opposite. His knee injury, suffered in the same game, subsequently drew reports that he would miss the remainder of the season. Texas, 5-2 overall and 2-2 in the SEC and ranked No. 11 in the AP poll after snapping a two-game losing streak, hosts Mississippi State on Saturday.
