49ers running back Tevin Coleman carted off field with shoulder injury
Things were going great for the San Francisco 49ers early in Sunday’s NFC championship matchup with the Green Bay Packers.
But they lost a key piece of their offense en route to taking a 17-0 lead in the second quarter.

He was eventually ruled out for the second half.
Judging from Coleman’s reaction, the cart and the gentle handling of his arm, the initial questionable tag from the 49ers was optimistic. If the 49ers win and advance to face the Kansas City Chiefs in the Super Bowl, they might have to do so without their starting running back.
