San Francisco 49ers running back Tevin Coleman suffered a dislocated shoulder in the NFC Championship game against the Green Bay Packers, head coach Kyle Shanahan.
What It Means:
Shanahan says Coleman still has a chance to play in Super Bowl LIV against the Kansas City Chiefs on February 2. That's encouraging after the running back had to be carted off the field Sunday evening. Raheem Mostert figures to lead the 49ers' backfield against the Chiefs after rushing 29 times for 220 yards and 4 touchdowns in the NFC title game.
The Chiefs allowed the fifth-most FanDuel points to opposing backfields during the regular season.
