Bills' Keon Coleman: Status in question for Sunday
Rotowire
Coleman (wrist) is listed as questionable for Sunday's contest at the Rams.
For a second week in a row, Coleman was listed as limited on all three injury reports and then given a 'questionable' designation. He's seeking his first game action since Week 9, when he sustained a right wrist injury. Coleman's status will be clarified, one way or another, about 90 minutes before a 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff. Curtis Samuel, Mack Hollins and Jalen Virgil are the candidates for WR reps behind Amari Cooper and Khalil Shakir if Coleman is inhibited or out this weekend.

Bills' Keon Coleman: Inactive Sunday Night
Rotowire
Coleman (wrist) is inactive for Sunday night's game against the 49ers.
Following the Bills' Week 12 bye, Coleman was listed as limited on all three practice reports this week before being deemed questionable for the contest. With the 2024 second-rounder -- who last played in Week 9 -- still sidelined, Amari Cooper, Khalil Shakir, Curtis Samuel, Mack Hollins and Jalen Virgil will handle Buffalo's wideout duties versus San Francisco. Coleman's next chance to return to action will arrive Dec. 8 against the Rams.

Bills' Keon Coleman: Questionable for Sunday night game
Rotowire
Head coach Sean McDermott relayed Friday that Coleman (wrist) will be listed as questionable for Sunday night's game against the 49ers, Alec White of the Bills' official site reports.
With regard to Coleman -- who has missed Buffalo's last two games and has been limited in practice this week -- McDermott noted that he's taking it one day at a time with the wideout. Given the team's 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff, ideally added context regarding Coleman's status will arrive prior to the first wave of Week 13 Sunday games, but if he's limited or out versus San Francisco, added snaps alongside Amari Cooper and Khalil Shakirwould be available for Curtis Samuel and Mack Hollins.

Bills' Keon Coleman: Limited practice on tap
Rotowire
Head coach Sean McDermott said that Coleman (wrist) will be a limited participant in practice Wednesday, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports.
Coleman, who last played Week 9, wasn't able to practice in any fashion in either of the ensuing two weeks, but coming out of the Bills' Week 12 bye, the wideout is slated to take some reps. The rookie's limited participation represents a step in the right direction, but he'll need to practice fully by Friday in order to approach Sunday's game against the 49ers without an injury designation.

Bills' Keon Coleman: Ruled out for Week 11
Rotowire
Head coach Sean McDermott confirmed Friday that Coleman (wrist) won't play Sunday against the Chiefs, Alec White of the Bills' official site reports.
Coleman thus will target a potential return to action Sunday, Dec. 1 against the 49ers following the Bills' Week 12 bye, as will tight end Dalton Kincaid (knee). While the team will be without two key pass catchers versus Kansas City, on the plus side wideout Amari Cooper (questionable, wrist) has a chance to return from a two-game absence this weekend. In nine games to date, Coleman has hauled in 22 of his 36 targets for 417 yards and three TDs.

Bills' Keon Coleman: Won't be available Sunday
Rotowire
Head coach Sean McDermott noted Monday that Coleman (wrist) won't play Sunday against the Chiefs, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports.
McDermott acknowledged to Alec White of the team's official site this past Friday that Coleman could miss time beyond Week 10, and now that the wideout has been been deemed out for Sunday's contest, his next chance to see game action will occur Sunday, Dec. 1 against the 49ers, following Buffalo's Week 12 bye. With the Week 11 availability of Amari Cooper (wrist) yet to be determined, per Glab, the team's top healthy options at wide receiver currently are Khalil Shakir, Curtis Samuel and Mack Hollins.

Bills' Keon Coleman: Could miss time beyond Week 10
Rotowire
Coach Sean McDermott acknowledged Friday that Coleman (wrist) could miss time beyond Sunday's game against the Colts, Alec White of the Bills' official site reports.
During his weekly appearance on WGR550, McDermott ruled Coleman out for Sunday's contest, while adding that "it's a week-to-week deal" in terms of the wideout's availability, and that "it'll probably be multiple weeks." If the 2024 second-rounder indeed misses time beyond Week 10, added snaps behind Amari Cooper (wrist) -- when he's available -- and Khalil Shakir would be available for Mack Hollins (shoulder) and Curtis Samuel (pectoral).

Bills' Keon Coleman: Hurts wrist late in Week 9 win
Rotowire
Coleman caught one of two targets for 21 yards and caught a two-point conversion in Sunday's 30-27 win over the Dolphins.
Coleman bobbled a slant in the red zone on his only target of the first half, and the ball ended up in Jalen Ramsey's hands for an interception. The rookie receiver atoned to some extent by catching a two-point conversion in the third quarter and added a 21-yard catch in the fourth. Coleman was seen holding his wrist while walking to the locker room with trainers late in the game, per Katherine Fitzgerald of The Buffalo News, so his practice participation will bear monitoring as the Bills prepare to face the Colts in Week 10, especially since Buffalo was already without Amari Cooper (wrist) against the Dolphins.

Bills' Keon Coleman: Breaks out in Week 7
Rotowire
Coleman recorded four receptions on seven targets for 125 yards in Sunday's 34-10 win over the Titans.
The addition of Amari Cooper seemingly threatened Coleman's role in Buffalo's offense, but instead, he appeared to be unlocked with less focus from the defense. Coleman earned a season-high seven targets and converted that into long gains of 57 and 44 yards, both of which were highlighted by lots of yards after the catch. The Titans were without their top two corners for this matchup, so it remains to be seen if Coleman can carry this performance into a Week 8 matchup against Seattle -- another unit that has dealt with a multitude of injuries in the secondary.

Bills' Keon Coleman: Team's leading receiver in debut
Rotowire
Coleman caught four of five targets for 51 yards in Sunday's 34-28 win over the Cardinals.
Coleman led the team in targets and receiving yards in his NFL debut, but the rookie second-round pick was held out of the end zone while fellow Bills wide receivers Khalil Shakir and Mack Hollins both scored touchdowns. Most of Coleman's yardage came on a 28-yard contested catch in the fourth quarter, which got the ball down to the six-yard line and set up quarterback Josh Allen's second rushing touchdown of the game. Coleman and the Bills will have a short turnaround before facing the Dolphins in Miami on Thursday.

Bills' Keon Coleman: One catch in preseason opener
Rotowire
Coleman caught one of three targets for eight yards in Saturday's 33-6 preseason loss to the Bears.
Coleman didn't make much of a splash in his NFL debut, with his lone catch coming on a pass thrown by backup quarterback Mitch Trubisky. Coleman worked in with the starting wide receivers, but Josh Allen's pair of first-quarter completions went to Khalil Shakir and Curtis Samuel. Coleman's expected to play a significant role as a rookie in a Bills receiving corps that lost Stefon Diggs in the offseason, and the 2024 second-round pick out of Florida State will try to put forth a stronger showing in next Saturday's preseason game against the Steelers.

Bills' Keon Coleman: Inks rookie deal with Buffalo
Rotowire
Coleman signed a four-year rookie contract Wednesday, Alec White of the Bills' official site reports.
Coleman, selected 33rd overall in April, has a good chance to be the team's No. 1 or No. 2 receiver right out of the gate, as the Bills lack a proven guy in the entire wideout corps after trading away Stefon Diggs and not re-signing Gabe Davis during the offseason. The Bills now have all 10 of their 2024 picks signed to deals.
