Seahawks suspend Derrick Coleman following arrest

The Seattle Seahawks announced Thursday the team has suspended fullback Derrick Coleman indefinitely, pending further information.

Coleman, 24, was booked into King County Correctional Facility in Seattle, Wash., at 1:20 a.m. on Thursday morning. He was charged with vehicular assault and a hit-and-run felony, according to online records.

Coleman was denied bail.

Coleman's agents confirmed that he was involved in a two-car collision soon after leaving a team meeting and that he may have fallen asleep while driving home from the team's facility.

"The health and well-being of all involved is our primary concern, and we are thankful to report that both parties are expected to make a full recovery," his agents added. "We will continue to work closely with the local officials while a full investigation is being conducted."

Bellevue Police announced they will hold a press conference at 2 p.m. PT to discuss the arrest.

Coleman, a hearing-impaired fullback, has played the past three seasons for the Seahawks. The blocker has appeared in five games in 2015, with two starts, earning just one carry for two yards.
