Coleman posted nine tackles (five solo) during Sunday's Week 2 win over the Texans. |
Coleman tied linebacker Thomas Davis for the Panthers' team-lead in tackles Sunday, which followed his just three stops in Week 1. After winning Carolina's starting free safety position during the preseason, Coleman's IDP stock is on the rise, particularly after a performance like Sunday's. |
Mon Mar 16 2015 | 11:41 | Coleman signed two-year deal with Panthers on Monday |
Coleman signed a two-year deal with the Panthers on Monday. |
Coleman will reunite with his former defensive coordinator, Sean McDermott, who coached him as a rookie in 2010. He was forced into action for some games last season after Eric Berry was lost to health issues, and played well in the role, recording three picks and a forced fumble, adding 37 tackles (34 total). He could compete for a starting spot alongside Roman Harper, but should also be a big contributor on special teams. |

Coleman sealed Sunday's game against the Chargers by intercepting Phillip Rivers with less than ten seconds left in the game. |
Coleman only played limited snaps defensively Sunday (23 of 52), but managed to come up with an interception. With Eric Berry due back in the near future, it's likely Coleman's snaps will drop even more in the future despite his performance Sunday. |

Coleman signed with the Chiefs on Wednesday, Randy Covitz of the Kansas City Star reports. |
Coleman was expected to sign with the Chiefs on Tuesday, and did. He will reunite with his former Eagles coach Andy Reid in Kansas City, where he will add some experience to a young secondary. Coleman may also compete with Husain Abdullah for playing time alongside Eric Berry. |

Coleman is expected to sign with the Chiefs on Tuesday, FOX Sports reports. |
Coleman was released by the Vikings over the weekend, but will now be reunited with former coach Andy Reid in Kansas City. A seventh round pick of the Eagles in 2010, Coleman is two years removed from a career-best 93 tackles (70 solo) and could immediately compete with Husain Abdullah for playing time at free safety. |

Coleman and Chris Crocker were surprise cuts as the Vikings kept younger players in the secondary. |

Coleman had three total tackles and an interception in Friday's preseason win over Oakland. |
Coleman started at strong safety with Robert Blanton (hamstring) and Jamarca Sanford (back spasms) hurt and Chris Crocker not playing since he just signed with the team. Coleman's strong performance could put him into the mix to start at strong safety, but he more likely works in a reserve role if he makes the team. |
Fri Jul 18 2014 | 11:36 | Kurt Coleman not projected to make Vikings |
ESPN Vikings reporter Ben Goessling doesn't project S Kurt Coleman to make the 53-man roster. |
Coleman is merely a special teams player, but he's a fine one at that. Goessling has the Vikings keeping third-year S Robert Blanton and sixth-round rookie Antone Exum over Coleman. Blanton got some run with the first-team defense next to Harrison Smith during the spring, while Exum is a hybrid corner/safety. |

Free agent S Kurt Coleman left his visit with the Vikings with no deal in place despite reportedly being offered a contract. |

Coleman's been busy the past week; he made trips to the Jets and Colts last week. The 2010 seventh-round pick played just 74 defensive snaps last season. In Minnesota, he'd chip in on special teams and back up both safety spots. |

Eagles S Kurt Coleman played cornerback in Thursday's preseason finale. |
A reserve safety and special teamer, added versatility could only help Coleman's roster chances. Nevertheless, it would be a disaster if Coleman ever had to step in at corner during the regular season. He was completely overwhelmed in coverage last season. |

CSN Philly believes Eagles S Kurt Coleman and CB Curtis Marsh will need strong camps to save their roster spots. |
Coleman was a disaster last season, while Marsh played just 62 snaps. Coleman won't enter new coach Chip Kelly's first camp as a starter, but his status could depend on Kenny Phillips' health. |

Tue Dec 4 2012 | 10:57 | Kurt Coleman dealing with rib bruise |
Eagles S Kurt Coleman has been diagnosed with a cartilage bruise in the sternum and rib area. |
This should be the last straw for Coleman as a starter. Even if he's active for the final four games, the Eagles would be wise to see what David Sims can do in a starting role. We know that Coleman doesn't have the talent to handle the job and the Eagles are expected to make safety a priority this offseason. |

Mon Dec 3 2012 | 00:21 | Kurt Coleman's (sternum) X-rays negative |
Eagles S Kurt Coleman was forced from Philadelphia's Week 13 loss to the Cowboys with a bruised sternum, but X-rays came back negative. |
He'll undergo an MRI on Monday. Coleman took a hard fall in the fourth quarter, and remained down for several moments before being escorted to the locker room. He had the looks of a player who will be out for Week 14, which would be unwelcome news for Philly's horrendous secondary. |

Kurt Coleman has won the starting strong safety job. |
O.J. Atogwe has been banged up for the majority of camp and Jaiquawn Jarrett continues to be a liability. That leaves Coleman, a 2010 seventh-rounder, next to Nate Allen. He had 78 tackles, four interceptions, five pass breakups and one forced fumble last year. Three of those picks came in Week 6 against the Redskins. |

Wed Dec 28 2011 | 08:44 | Kurt Coleman lands on IR |
Eagles placed S Kurt Coleman (biceps) on injured reserve, ending his season. |
Coleman appeared in all 15 games for the Eagles this season, starting 13 of them and compiling 54 tackles, four interceptions and one forced fumble. He was benched early in the year in favor of Nate Allen, but regained a starting role when rookie Jaiquawn Jarrett struggled. Coleman figures to be back in 2012, but the Eagles desperately need to upgrade their safeties. |
