Injury Details of Cam Coleman
Late in the first quarter, Coleman favored his right ankle as he limped off the field. Team medical staff escorted him to the sideline’s medical tent, where he remained until the start of the second quarter. His status for the remainder of the game remains uncertain.
Impact on the Game
Before his injury, Coleman had recorded two receptions for 27 yards, including a touchdown. This touchdown became Auburn’s only points in the opening frame. The Tigers led 7-0 at the end of the first quarter, aiming to break a four-game losing streak and achieve their first SEC win.
Player Statistics and Team Outlook
- Cam Coleman: 30 catches, 413 yards, 2 touchdowns in the first 7 games.
