Coleman, a running back in his fifth year in the NFL, is one of only three players on the 49ers' injury report. Linebacker Kwon Alexander and Safety Jaquiski Tartt have also been limited in practice but are all expected to play Sunday against the Chiefs as well.
This won't be Coleman's first appearance in the Super Bowl. Three years ago he scored a touchdown to help give the Atlanta Falcons a 28-3 lead in Super Bowl LI before his team gave up 31 unanswered points in a loss to the New England Patriots.
