Coleman (calf) was listed as a full participant on the Seahawks' injury report Wednesday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.
Coleman has not played since Seattle's season opener due to a lingering calf injury, and he was ruled inactive ahead of Sunday's loss to New Orleans despite returning to practice in a limited fashion last Wednesday. However, the veteran's health seems to have taken some significant strides after he practiced without any limitations in Week 6. Coleman recorded five tackles over 49 defensive snaps in Week 1, and he should line up as the Seahawks' nickel corner behind Mike Jackson and Tariq Woolen when available again.

Dolphins' Justin Coleman: Placed on COVID-19 list
Rotowire
Coleman (undisclosed) was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Monday.
Coleman has played at least 20 defensive snaps in each of the last five contests, so his potential absence would leave a big opening in Miami's secondary.

Justin Coleman: Done in Detroit
Rotowire
The Lions will release Coleman, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Coleman's release will free up roughly $4.7 million in cap space for the Lions next season, so the move doesn't come as much of a surprise. Despite missing five games due to injury last season and having struggled during his time in Detroit, the 27-year-old will likely be viewed as one of the top slot cornerbacks on the free agent market.

Lions' Justin Coleman: Not living up to contract
Rotowire
Coleman registered 54 tackles, 13 pass breakups, one interception, three forced fumbles and one fumble recovery over 16 games in 2019.
Signed to a hefty four-year, $36 million contract in the offseason, Coleman played very well over the first few weeks of the season. However, he seemingly ended the year as a liability in pass coverage, and Coleman ultimately ranked among the league's most generous cornerbacks in terms of yardage allowed during the final three-fourths of the year. Since the dead money on Coleman's contract makes it highly unlikely he'll be going anywhere this offseason, the 26-year-old slot man will probably get a chance to redeem himself in 2020, but a return to his early-2019 form is no guarantee.

Lions' Justin Coleman: Lands four-year deal in Detroit
Rotowire
Coleman signed a four-year contract worth up to $36 million with the Lions on Monday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Coleman's deal makes him the highest-paid nickel cornerback in the league, though the exact terms remain unclear. The 25-year-old posted a career-high 55 tackles across 16 games with the Seahawks in 2018, in addition to 0.5 sacks, 10 pass breakups and one interception. He also logged 45 defensive snaps during the team's playoff loss to Dallas. Coleman's presence will bring a much-needed boost to the Lions' secondary and reunite him with former high school teammate Darius Slay.
