Bills Activate Keon Coleman for Wild-Card Game as Palmer Lands on IR

Beat reporting points to a minimal snap share for the second-year receiver despite the roster opening.

Overview

Buffalo placed Joshua Palmer on injured reserve with an ankle injury, ruling him out for the Jaguars game and ending his season.
Keon Coleman is expected to be active against Jacksonville, with NFL Network reporting he could see some offensive snaps.
The Athletic’s Joe Buscaglia projects Coleman to rank fifth among Bills wideouts in snaps, trailing Khalil Shakir, Brandin Cooks, Tyrell Shavers and Gabe Davis.
Coleman’s regular season included 38 receptions for 404 yards and four touchdowns in 13 games, plus multiple healthy scratches including two disciplinary benchings.
With Palmer sidelined, Buffalo had limited receiver options, so Coleman’s activation is likely tied to necessity rather than a featured role.
