Tevin Coleman: Cut by San Francisco

The 49ers released Coleman on Tuesday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.

In a four-game sample with San Francisco this season, Coleman ranged from zero offensive snaps to a 28 percent share, the latter of which amounted to his most productive appearance as he put up 67 yards from scrimmage and two TDs in Week 5 at Carolina. He averaged a measly 2.2 YPC on his 12 rushes and now finds himself on the open market following the team's acquisition of Christian McCaffrey. If Coleman doesn't end up back on the 49ers' practice squad, he may draw interest from teams with fewer backfield options.
