Keon Coleman, one of Buffalo’s key receivers, was not practicing Tuesday and was spotted wearing a walking boot. This news comes straight from multiple reporters on the scene at Highmark Stadium, sending a real jolt through what should be a straightforward preseason week.
Wait, What Happened To “Fine”?
Just last week, Coleman played in the Bills’ preseason opener, pulling in three passes on four targets for 17 yards. He apparently got “banged up” during that game, but head coach Joe Brady had explicitly said he expected the receiver to be fine. Well, “fine” doesn’t usually come with a walking boot and missing practice. It makes you wonder what changed, or if the initial assessment was just a bit too optimistic. This isn’t just a minor tweak; a boot always makes you nervous, especially so early in the season. You have to hope it’s more precautionary than truly serious, but the optics are definitely concerning for a guy expected to be a major contributor.
Who’s In And Who’s Out Right Now
Coleman isn’t the only one on the sidelines either. Fellow receiver Khalil Shakir is also out of practice today, which only adds to the worries about the depth chart. On the defensive side, tackle Ed Oliver is also sidelined. It’s not all doom and gloom though, as receiver DJ Moore *is* participating in the session, which is at least a small win for consistency. You want to see as many of your playmakers on the field as possible, gelling and getting ready, not watching from the sidelines.
The Bills are gearing up to face Cleveland this Saturday afternoon for their second preseason game. All eyes will be on the injury report leading up to that matchup and what kind of updates we get on Coleman. This early in the season, you just want health and momentum, and right now, Buffalo is facing some real questions. Let’s hope for a speedy and full recovery for Coleman and the others.
