Seahawks reinstate Coleman from suspension

RENTON, Wash. -- Seattle Seahawks coach Pete Carroll said Monday that the team will lift Derrick Coleman's suspension and the fullback will return to the team.

Coleman was arrested last week on charges of vehicular assault and hit-and-run. The Seahawks initially suspended him indefinitely.

Carroll was asked if he'd spoken to Coleman and received an explanation about what happened.

"Yes. We did see him," Carroll said. "We've also seen the videotapes of his meetings with the police, and so we feel like we are doing the right thing right now, obviously.
