In a preseason game between the Chicago Bears and Kansas City Chiefs, Bears cornerback Douglas Coleman III was immobilized on a stretcher and taken to the hospital in an ambulance after a tackle on Chiefs’ Cornell Powell. Coleman’s head bent awkwardly, causing concern for a potential neck injury. However, he was seen moving his extremities and giving a thumbs up before being taken for further evaluation. The Bears went on to win the game 34-21. Coleman played college football at Texas Tech and went undrafted in 2020, eventually signing with the Denver Broncos. He spent the past three years with the Ottawa Redblacks in the CFL, earning accolades for his performance as a safety and linebacker. Last season, Coleman recorded 60 tackles, four sacks, three interceptions, and scored touchdowns off both an interception and fumble return. The incident reminded fans of the risks involved in football, but also highlighted the resilience and determination of players like Coleman to bounce back from setbacks. The situation serves as a reminder of the dangers inherent in the sport, even in preseason games where players are vying for roster spots and the opportunity to showcase their skills.
