Sunday open thread: How does Justin Coleman’s return affect the secondary?

The Lions have had a banged up secondary for most of the year, but with the team activating Justin Coleman from reserved/injured, they may finally have all of their top corners available against the Colts—assuming Desmond Trufant is healthy enough to suit up. This means the Lions might have to do some shuffling in the secondary.

Coleman hasn’t played a game since Week 1 against the Bears. His natural position since he got to Detroit has been as their starting slot corner, but Darryl Roberts has stepped in for him since he’s been gone.
