When is Cole making his afl debut?

I read an article that said Cole was only scheduled to be in the instructional league for two weeks. Assuming there’s any truth to that, he should be leaving for Arizona soon.

Cole was expected to make a few more starts in instructs after his first start. He’s probably made two starts by now since I heard this. Not sure on the exact date that he’ll go to the AFL.

Cole will be making his debut on Friday 10/14 at 12:30 AZT., Vs. Surprise Saguaros.
