49ers lose RB Coleman to ankle injury

San Francisco 49ers running back Tevin Coleman will not return to Sunday's Week 1 game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers after suffering an ankle injury, the team said in a statement. Coleman sustained the injury during the first half. He finished with six carries for 23 yards.

The 49ers acquired Coleman as a free agent this offseason from the Atlanta Falcons. The 26-year-old signed a two-year, $10 million contract with San Francisco after he rushed for a career-high 800 yards and four touchdowns last season as Atlanta's starter. Matt Breida and Raheem Mostert handled the rushing load for San Francisco in Coleman's absence.
