Bills to Bench Keon Coleman Again for Thursday Night Game

Keon Coleman, the Bills’ wide receiver, is expected to be inactive for the game against the Texans on Thursday night. This comes after his benching for the previous match against the Buccaneers. Erik Turner of Cover 1 first reported that Coleman would not participate due to being a healthy scratch last Sunday.

Reasons for Coleman’s Bench

The situation surrounding Coleman’s lack of playing time remains unclear. Following the previous game, Coleman admitted he needs to improve. Head coach Sean McDermott emphasized the necessity for Coleman to demonstrate growth to re-enter the lineup.

Bills’ Offensive Adjustments

Prior to his benching, Coleman was the Bills’ No. 2 receiver. However, his absence did not hinder the team’s performance during their recent 44-32 victory over the Buccaneers. Quarterback Josh Allen excelled, indicating that the offense can adapt without Coleman.

Potential Active Receivers

For the upcoming game against the Texans, the Bills are likely to utilize the following wide receivers:

  • Joshua Palmer
  • Elijah Moore
  • Tyrell Shavers
  • Khalil Shakir
  • Gabe Davis

This lineup shows the team’s depth at the wide receiver position, as they look to maintain their offensive momentum despite Coleman’s absence.
