Coleman reverted to the 49ers' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
With Elijah Mitchell (groin) unavailable, Coleman was elevated to the active roster for the AFC Championship Game but played just one offensive snap and didn't record any counting stats. The veteran running back made five regular-season appearances for the 49ers and totaled five touches for 70 yards and two scores.

49ers' Tevin Coleman: Shifts to active roster
Rotowire
Coleman was elevated from the practice squad Saturday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.
This likely matters more for the status of Elijah Mitchell, who is currently listed as questionable for Sunday's game with a groin injury. Given the talented second-year back didn't practice all week, it's possible Mitchell would be unavailable, meaning Jordan Mason, Tyrion Davis-Price and even Coleman could see a handful of carries in an effort to spell All-Pro stud Christian McCaffrey.

Rotowire
Coleman reverted to the 49ers' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

49ers' Tevin Coleman: Not playing Saturday
Rotowire
Coleman is inactive for Saturday's wild-card game against the Seahawks due to a coach's decision, Lindsey Pallares of the 49ers' official website reports.
Coleman is essentially the odd man out at running back, as the team will roll with Christian McCaffrey, Elijah Mitchell and Jordan Mason as backfield options.

49ers' Tevin Coleman: Gets call to active roster
Rotowire
The 49ers elevated Coleman to the active roster from the practice squad Friday for Saturday's wild-card matchup against the Seahawks.
Coleman made five appearances during the 2022 regular season, totaling 12 rushing attempts for 26 yards and three receptions for 44 yards across 30 offensive snaps. The 49ers' running back room is healthy, so the veteran running back figures to operate as an emergency option behind Christian McCaffrey, Elijah Mitchell, Jordan Mason and Tyrion Davis-Price.

Tevin Coleman: Back to practice squad
Rotowire
Coleman reverted to the 49ers' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.
Coleman suited up Sunday against the Buccaneers and received one snap on offense, but he never touched the ball. The 29-year-old played ahead of third-round rookie Tyrion Davis-Price, who was inactive as a healthy scratch. Whether Coleman will receive another elevation Week 15 against the Seahawks is unclear, although Christian McCaffrey (knee) is currently considered questionable for the game.

49ers' Tevin Coleman: Called up for Week 14
Rotowire
The 49ers elevated Coleman from the practice squad Saturday for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, David Lombardi of The Athletic reports.
Coleman first joined San Francisco's practice squad in mid-September and was elevated for two games before being signed to the active roster ahead of Week 6. However, the 29-year-old saw his already limited playing time decrease in back-to-back games, and he was ultimately cut after the team acquired Christian McCaffrey in late October. With fourth-string running back Elijah Mitchell (knee) now on IR, it's likely that Coleman will take over his role as a core special-teamer against Tampa Bay. This will mark's the last available activation for Coleman, so he will now require a spot on the active roster to suit up with the 49ers again in 2022.

Tevin Coleman: Returns to San Fran
Rotowire
San Francisco signed Coleman to its practice squad Wednesday.
Coleman was cut by San Francisco on Tuesday after logging just one special-teams snap during the team's Week 7 loss to the Chiefs. The previous two weeks, the running back totaled 15 touches for 70 yards and two scores, but the acquisition of Christian McCaffrey made Coleman the odd man out in the 49ers' backfield. However, the veteran will return to San Francisco's organization just one day after being cut and will likely operate as an emergency option on the practice squad.

49ers' Tevin Coleman: Plays one snap Sunday
Rotowire
Coleman logged one snap on special teams in Sunday's 44-23 loss to the Chiefs.
Coleman fell out of favor quickly following his two-touchdown game back in Week 5, as he has produced just three yards on four attempts in the two games since then. Tyrion Davis-Price (13 offensive snaps) appears to have leapfrogged the veteran as a reserve running back in San Francisco. The addition of Christian McCaffrey last week puts Coleman's roster spot in jeopardy heading into a crucial matchup against the Rams next Sunday.

49ers' Tevin Coleman: Ineffective against old club
Rotowire
Coleman rushed four times for three yards in Sunday's 28-14 loss to the Falcons.
Available to the 49ers offense for a third straight game, Coleman was unable to replicate last week's two-score performance. It is worth nothing that the 29-year-old stuck as Jeff Wilson's primary backup despite the return of Tyrion Davis-Price (no touches) and the presence of preseason standout Jordan Mason (no touches). Both veteran backs struggled mightily in a favored matchup, so perhaps head coach Kyle Shanahan will try some of his younger backs behind Wilson next Sunday against the Chiefs. Coleman shouldn't be considered a starting option in most leagues heading into Week 7.

49ers' Tevin Coleman: Inked to active roster
Rotowire
The 49ers signed Coleman to their 53-man roster Wednesday.
Coleman had reverted to the practice squad after rushing times for 23 yards and a touchdown while securing all three of his targets for 44 yards and another score during Sunday's win over the Panthers. In light of that strong performance, Coleman has seemingly now earned a spot as the No. 2 running back behind Jeff Wilson. Considering that Elijah Mitchell (knee) doesn't yet look close to a return from injured reserve, Coleman is an interesting fantasy option heading into what should be a favorable Week 6 matchup against the Falcons.

49ers' Tevin Coleman: Finds end zone twice Sunday
Rotowire
Coleman carried the ball eight times for 23 yards and a touchdown and caught all three of his targets for 44 yards and a second TD in Sunday's 37-15 win over the Panthers.
The veteran running back, who saw only one offensive snap last week in his return to the 49ers, was the surprise star on offense in this one. Coleman bookended the scoring on the afternoon, catching a nine-yard TD pass in the first quarter before adding a five-yard scoring run in the fourth. Jeff Wilson remains the starter in the San Francisco backfield and saw 18 touches to Coleman's 11, but the latter's experience in Kyle Shanahan's scheme appears to have allowed him to leapfrog rookie Jordan Mason on the depth chart.

49ers' Tevin Coleman: Set as No. 3 running back Sunday
Rotowire
Coleman is slated to serve as the 49ers' No. 3 running back in Sunday's Week 5 clash against the Panthers with Marlon Mack inactive for the contest.
Coleman was elevated from the practice squad Saturday, and he'll now enjoy active status for a second straight game with Mack a healthy scratch. However, even with Elijah Mitchell (knee) and Tyrion Davis-Price (ankle) sidelined, Coleman saw only one snap in Week 4 against the Rams, and a similar fate could await him Sunday while operating behind Jeff Wilson and Jordan Mason.

49ers' Tevin Coleman: Elevated to active roster
Rotowire
The 49ers elevated Coleman on Saturday from their practice squad to their active roster for Sunday's game against the Panthers, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
With Elijah Mitchell (knee) and Tyrion Davis-Price (ankle) still out, Coleman will be active for a second straight week. However, the veteran running back played just one offensive snap during the team's Week 4 win over the Rams, while Jeff Wilson dominated the backfield work. Fellow backup Marlon Mack didn't play at all against Los Angeles and Jordan Mason played exclusively on special teams, so while Coleman barley saw the field in his season debut, it doesn't appear like he's too far down the 49ers' running back depth chart.

Tevin Coleman: Returns to practice squad
Rotowire
Coleman reverted to the 49ers' practice squad Tuesday, per the NFL's transaction log.
With Elijah Mitchell (knee) on injured reserve and Tyrion Davis-Price (ankle) ruled out, Coleman was elevated to the active roster from the practice squad for Monday's Week 4 win over the Rams. However, the veteran running back played just one offensive snap, while Jeff Wilson dominated the backfield work. Fellow backup Marlon Mack didn't see the field at all, and Jordan Mason played exclusively on special teams, so while Coleman was limited to just one snap, he may an elevation candidate again in Week 5.

Tevin Coleman: Plays one offensive snap
Rotowire
Coleman failed to record a single rushing attempt in Monday's 24-9 win over the Rams.
Coleman was a complete nonfactor Monday, seeing the field for just one offensive snap. The veteran running back was elevated from the practice squad ahead of Monday's night game, but it was starter Jeff Wilson who saw the vast majority of the work out of the backfield. With his lack of involvement in his first game back, Coleman is difficult to trust for fantasy at this point. The 49ers visit the Panthers in Week 5.

49ers' Tevin Coleman: Up from practice squad
Rotowire
Coleman has been elevated from the 49ers' practice squad ahead of Monday night's game against the Rams.
With Elijah Mitchell (knee) on IR and Tyrion Davis-Price out with an ankle injury, Coleman will provide the 49ers backfield -- which also includes Jordan Mason and Marlon Mack -- with some added depth behind current starter Jeff Wilson. Coleman's familiarity with coach Kyle Shanahan's offense could lead to some change-of-pace work Monday, though Wilson still should see the bulk of the team's Week 4 carries.

Tevin Coleman: Joins 49ers' practice squad
Rotowire
The 49ers signed Coleman to their practice squad Wednesday.
Coleman spent the 2021 campaign and the entire 2022 offseason and preseason with the Jets, but he was a roster casualty on cutdown day Aug. 30. He worked out for the 49ers last week, and after Tyrion Davis-Price (ankle) emerged from this past Sunday's win against the Seahawks with an injury -- joining Elijah Mitchell (knee) on the sideline -- Coleman has returned to San Francisco, where he played in 2019 and 2020. Jeff Wilson is leading the backfield at the moment, and while undrafted rookie Jordan Mason and Marlon Mack also are on the active roster, Coleman will still be a candidate to be elevated Week 3.

Jets' Tevin Coleman: Three carries in preseason finale
Rotowire
Coleman rushed three times for 14 yards in Sunday's 31-27 preseason win over the Giants.
Coleman's touches came in the second quarter with backup quarterback Mike White in the game. While the veteran running back isn't expected to play a key offensive role when others at the position are healthy, all signs point to Coleman making the Jets' 53-man roster.
