He has been medically disqualified from the Volunteers\u2019 roster.<\/p>\n<p>He was absent from summer workouts and the second half of the Volunteers\u2019 spring practice and his status with the program moving forward was unclear. Voluntary summer workouts began earlier this month at Tennessee, and he officially missed his report day.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cChaz has been dealing with some things, and we\u2019re here to support him,\u201d Tennessee head coach <a href=\"https:\/\/www.on3.com\/rivals\/coach\/josh-heupel-132328\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Josh Heupel<\/a> told On3 on Wednesday at the SEC spring meetings. \u201cWe\u2019ll continue to go through that process.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Coleman played only 144 snaps as a true freshman in 2025 at Penn State. In his limited playing time, he finished with 12 pressures, three tackles for loss and a strip sack. He followed defensive coordinator <a href=\"https:\/\/www.on3.com\/rivals\/coach\/jim-knowles-131212\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Jim Knowles<\/a> from Penn State to Tennessee this offseason.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s explosive,\u201d Knowles said in February. \u201cHe\u2019s difficult to block. He has a little bit of an invisible cloak, where he can twist, turn and beat guys one-on-one. He has great initial quickness off the ball. So he\u2019s a guy that can create havoc for an offense and really creates a matchup issue.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This is a breaking news story and will be updated. <\/p>\n<p>Like this story2Share article<\/p>\n<p class=\"ArticleLikeBar_meta__MY_jU\">Members only \u00b7 one like per member<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Tennessee has parted ways with Penn State transfer EDGE Chaz Coleman, sources tell Chris Low and me for&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":902820,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2026],"tags":[57356,7,34231],"class_list":["post-929416","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-football","tag-chaz-coleman-25-warren-g-harding","tag-football","tag-josh-heupel-97-central-hs"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/116817069643233569","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/929416","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=929416"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/929416\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/902820"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=929416"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=929416"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=929416"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
