Running back Tevin Coleman (hamstring) and cornerback Desmond Trufant (shoulder/pectoral) returned to practice on Monday.

Coleman has missed the last three games after suffering the injury against San Diego on Oct. 23.

Trufant left the Tampa Bay game in the second quarter and didn’t play against Philadelphia.

Trufant was cutting and working on his footwork during the open portion of practice.

Coleman along with Devonta Freeman were working on the pass blocking with running backs coach Bobby Turner.
