METAIRIE, La. -- The New Orleans Saints have ruled out No. 3 wide receiver Brandon Coleman for Sunday's divisional-round playoff game at Minnesota with a neck injury.
Coleman has been an underrated part of the Saints' offense this year as both a pass catcher and a blocker (the Saints led the NFL in both yards per rush and yards per pass attempt). The 6-foot-6, 225-pounder caught 23 passes for 364 yards and three touchdowns in 16 games played. He has never missed a game due to injury in his three years as part of New Orleans' active roster.
