Scary injury in Auburn scrimmage

AUBURN -- Auburn junior defensive end Antonio Coleman was immobilized and taken from Jordan-Hare Stadium in an ambulance after the final play of Auburn's spring-practice scrimmage Saturday.
He did not appear to move during his 10-15 minutes on the field, nor did he gesture in response to fans applauding and calling his name as paramedics rolled him on a stretcher to the back of the ambulance.
Auburn coach Tommy Tuberville said Coleman was conscious and talking but did not have much feeling. Tuberville said Coleman started to get more feeling while down on the field.
Coleman was taken to East Alabama Regional Medical Center in Opelika. Auburn athletics spokesman Kirk Sampson anticipates releasing a statement later this afternoon.
Coleman went down after battling sophomore left tackle Lee Ziemba on a pass play.
Auburn offensive line coach Hugh Nall signalled for Ziemba to leave the field immediately after the play. Apparently anticipating a new play, Nall called Andrew McCain onto the field.
As the nature of Coleman's injury became apparent, Auburn's coaching staff called the end of a long scrimmage. Ziemba stood on the field with the rest of the offense, watching as team medical personnel and paramedics tended to Coleman.
A trainer patted Ziemba on the back as Coleman was rolled to the ambulance.
Updates coming as soon as more information can be obtained.
