This makes sense. They had a plan to get Fidone healthy and it worked. Hopefully this works for Coleman. He got mugged last year. With DR he might be good for 2 or 3 DPI a game.
Where’s Carter Nelson?

I am not sure those are the same thing. Coleman hasn't torn his ACL two years in a row.

Agree. Some coaches rush guys back and the player never gets right. That was what I was trying to say.
I get it, I am just not sure Coleman's injury was one that required him to be out this long during the season. By most accounts, he was practicing all summer and even through camp. IF they were worried about a nagging injury why would they allow that to occur?
Rhule announced the intention to redshirt Coleman before the season even started, right?
Said he needs to develop physically or something of the sort?
I don’t think injury has anything to do with it.
No idea. It just seems to make sense since our receiver play has been so bad. I can't think of any other reason to not give him a shot.
Rhule announced after a couple of games that he was redshirting and that he wasn't fully recovered from his injury. Now he's fully recovered and has practiced. He can see the field this week and still redshirt, and I think that's what we're going to see.
well, Rhule and 100% of the reporting say different.
it appears you have manufactured this fiction and/or your memory of events that took place a mere 8 weeks ago has deteriorated.
from Sept 2nd:
Malachi Coleman headed for redshirt season, Nebraska coach Matt Rhule says
Twelve Husker wide receivers played Saturday, but Malachi Coleman wasn't one of them. He's likely to redshirt this season, Matt Rhule said.
...the presence of senior transfers Jahmal Banks and Isaiah Neyor has limited Nebraska’s reliance on Coleman as an outside wide receiver.
Coleman would be available to play in an emergency situation, Rhule said, especially if the Huskers were to suffer injuries at the position. For now, though, the Lincoln product is headed for a development season.
“We’re kind of taking the pressure off from him for a little bit and letting him go compete,” Rhule said of Coleman.
injury had nothing to do with it.
He didn’t practice in the spring and missed reps that others like Barney got. The depth in the room increased and he ended up behind Bullock, about 8th in the pecking order. I just think they decided to take the year. I don’t know if he has any participation in games this year but he can play the remaining four, plus the bowl.
