Auburn WR Cam Coleman Injury Update vs. Arkansas

In this story:
The Auburn Tigers are currently leading Arkansas 7-0, and arguably their best player just exited the game with a concerning injury.
With about 4:45 remaining in the first quarter, standout wide receiver Cam Coleman went down with an ankle injury on the opening play of their second offensive drive. Coleman was out in front blocking for Eric Singleton Jr. on a jet sweep to the left side of the field when Arkansas linebacker Stephen Dix Jr. fell into Coleman’s lower body.
Coleman’s right foot appeared to get rolled up on the play, causing him to limp off the field after spending a few minutes in visible pain on the ground.
1:45 p.m. Update: Coleman has re-entered the game midway through the third quarter. He appears to have a wrap around his right ankle due to the right ankle sprain. He's clearly not 100% but is still gutting it out on the field.

This injury comes just one offensive play after Coleman’s spectacular one-handed 23-yard touchdown grab, which marked Auburn’s first touchdown through the air since Sept. 20 against Oklahoma.

With Coleman out indefinitely, the Tigers will look to other wide receivers like Singleton, Perry Thompson, and Malcolm Simmons to step up in his absence. Auburn is already down one wideout with Horatio Fields breaking his foot in practice a few weeks ago.
12:48 p.m. Injury update: According to reporter Morgan Uber on the SEC Network broadcast, Coleman has suffered a high right ankle sprain and remains in pads on the sideline. It is unclear if Coleman will return, but he is currently doing exercises to work out the ankle pain.
