Keon Coleman’s Ankle Is Acting Up, Deone Walker Is Limited, and Bills Fans Are Holding Their Breath

The Buffalo Bills just started their practice week without wide receiver Keon Coleman, who was out with an ankle injury. This isn’t just some minor thing either, especially for a team that’s currently sitting pretty at 3-0. This ankle issue is the same one that had him listed as questionable just last Sunday before their game against the Chargers.

Coleman’s Ankle Saga Continues, Other Bills Sidelined

Coleman *did* play in that Chargers game, but get this: the dude only practiced on Friday before it. That tells you he’s been battling this for a minute. Now missing the first practice of a new week? That’s not a good sign. When your top guys are sidelined, even for practice, it throws a wrench into the whole weekly rhythm. And he wasn’t alone on the sidelines either. Linebacker Joe Andreesen is out with a knee injury, cornerback Christian Benford is nursing a toe, and defensive lineman TJ Sanders is battling an illness. That’s a lot of key defensive pieces missing from the early-week grind.

Defensive Standout Deone Walker Limited, Other Concerns Emerge

The hits keep coming on the defensive side, too. Defensive tackle Deone Walker, who has been an absolute standout for this 3-0 Bills squad, was limited in practice due to a quad injury. You never want to see your difference-makers get dinged, especially when they’re playing at a high level. On top of that, wide receiver DJ Moore was limited with a shoulder issue, and safety Damar Hamlin was also limited because of his ribs. It’s not all doom and gloom though: linebacker Terrel Bernard (knee), linebacker Bradley Chubb (thumb), guard Ar’maj Reed-Adams (elbow), and linebacker Dorian Williams (hip) were all full participants. Still, the impact of Coleman being out and Walker being limited on a 3-0 team? That’s the real story heading into the next game.

This team is 3-0, firing on all cylinders, and now they’re staring down some significant injury questions for pivotal players. They need these guys healthy if they want to keep that undefeated streak alive and show everyone they’re for real. You gotta wonder how these injuries will impact their game plan and performance this week.
