Coleman has been with the Seahawks since 2013.
The Seattle Seahawks suspended fullback Derrick Coleman indefinitely pending further information after he was arrested. Coleman, who the Times says was uninjured, wakled away from the scene, but was arrested after police located him nearby. The other driver was hurt in the crash, possibly breaking a collarbone, a law-enforcement source said.
Cops found the 24-year-old near the crash scene and arrested him without incident.
Coleman is an inspirational figure within the NFL as he is the first deaf offensive player in the history of the league. There was “no indication” that Coleman was intoxicated, per Sullivan, which is small consolation at this point for Seattle’s 12th man.
The Seahawks play the undefeated Carolina Panthers on Sunday.
Mylett said the investigation is ongoing and could take several weeks. He was given field sobriety tests and officers obtained a search warrant to draw blood to screen for drugs and alcohol.
Coleman will remain in the King County Correctional Facility, having been denied bail until he appears before a judge.
“That will be a focus of the investigation”, the police chief said, adding that his department wants to bring Coleman back in for more questioning. He spent the 2012 season on the practice squad. He missed the last 11 games of last season with a broken foot during pregame warmups against the St. Louis Rams. Coleman, who has been deaf since age 3, was driving his pickup truck at a high rate of speed, according to witnesses.
The 6-foot, 233-pounder has played in all five of the Seahawks’ games in 2015, with one carry and one reception on the season.
