East Carolina’s David Coleman Jr. suffers leg injury after collision with referee

East Carolina football got back to .500 following Saturday’s 17-9 home win over Temple and is still in contention for a bowl game, but the team lost one of its players to an injury that should have been completely avoidable. While running downfield in between plays, an official slipped and crashed into David Coleman Jr. Unable to put any weight on his legs, the freshman defensive back was helped off the field and eventually ruled out for the remainder of the game.
