Despite not appearing on the injury report, Coleman will not participate due to disciplinary reasons. Reports indicate that he missed a crucial team meeting on Friday. This led to the Bills opting to make him a healthy scratch in a critical matchup for their playoff hopes.
Implications for the Bills
This decision comes at a pivotal time as the Bills strive to improve their position in the AFC East standings. Coleman, a second-round pick in 2024, had shown promise throughout the season but has faced disciplinary issues before, having been benched in previous games during his rookie year.
Adjustments to the Roster
In light of Coleman’s absence, the Bills have made notable roster adjustments:
- Mecole Hardman has been signed to the 53-man roster.
- Gabe Davis has been elevated from the practice squad.
These additions will complement existing receivers Khalil Shakir, Josh Palmer, Curtis Samuel, and Tyrell Shavers on the field.
Inactives for Both Teams
Here’s a look at the inactive players for both the Bills and the Buccaneers:
| Buffalo Bills | Tampa Bay Buccaneers |
|---|---|
| WR Keon Coleman | G Ben Bredeson |
| TE Dalton Kincaid | WR Chris Godwin |
| WR Elijah Moore | RB Bucky Irving |
| LB Shaq Thompson | DL C.J. Brewer |
| CB Ja’Marcus Ingram | G Elijah Klein |
| DT Phidarian Mathis | EDGE Haason Reddick |
| T Chase Lundt | EDGE Markees Watts |
As kickoff approaches, the Bills will need to adapt quickly. The game against the Buccaneers will not only impact their standing but also test their depth in the wide receiver position without Coleman.
