"&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Seattle&amp;nbsp;Seahawks&amp;nbsp;fullback&amp;nbsp;Derrick Coleman&amp;nbsp;was released from jail on Friday&amp;nbsp;pending an ongoing investigation, reports Bob Condotta&amp;nbsp;of &lt;em&gt;The Seattle Times&lt;/em&gt;.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Coleman was&amp;nbsp;arrested&amp;nbsp;early Thursday morning by the King County, Wash. jail with felony hit-and-run and vehicular assault, and later suspended indefinitely by the Seahawks. As of Thursday afternoon, Coleman had been denied bail and was being held in the jail.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;According to&amp;nbsp;Condotta\u2019s&amp;nbsp;report, the investigation is expected to take at least a month, including time spent waiting for the full toxicology results to be reported. A&amp;nbsp;decision&amp;nbsp;regarding the charges will be made when the investigation is complete.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The first court appearance, which was scheduled for Friday, was&amp;nbsp;canceled.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Coleman\u2019s agent issued the following statement on Thursday:\r\n\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u201COn the evening of Oct. 15, 2015, Seattle&amp;nbsp;Seahawk&amp;nbsp;Fullback Derrick Coleman,&amp;nbsp;Jr. was involved in a two-car collision soon after leaving a team meeting. While the facts of the case are still being determined, it seems Derrick may have fallen asleep while driving home from a Seahawks' facility. The health and well-being of all involved is our primary concern, and we are thankful to report that both parties are expected to make a full recovery. We will continue to work closely with the local officials while a full investigation is being conducted.\u201D\r\n\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Coleman, who is the first legally deaf player in NFL history, is used by the Seahawks primarily as a blocker, with only three carries and 11 receptions in his four-year NFL career. He has played 20.2% of Seattle\u2019s offensive snaps this season and 69.2% of the snaps on special teams.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Seattle is one of only a few NFL teams to carry two fullbacks on its roster. Converted defensive lineman&amp;nbsp;Will&amp;nbsp;Tukuafu&amp;nbsp;is Coleman\u2019s backup.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Seahawks (2\u20133) will host the Carolina&amp;nbsp;Panthers&amp;nbsp;(4\u20130) at&amp;nbsp;CenturyLink&amp;nbsp;Field on Sunday.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;\u2022 BANKS:&amp;nbsp;Middling teams take aim at the top dogs in Week 6&lt;/strong&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;- Kayla Lombardo&lt;/em&gt;\r\n&lt;/p&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
