Bills Keep Keon Coleman Inactive for Second Straight Game vs. Texans

Coach Sean McDermott says the young receiver must regain teammates’ trust through a day-by-day process.

Overview

  • Buffalo listed Keon Coleman as a healthy scratch for the Week 12 Thursday night matchup, one week after he was benched for being late to a team meeting.
  • McDermott reiterated after the game that nothing has changed with Coleman’s status and that trust-building will take time, following earlier discipline that included a brief Week 5 benching.
  • The Bills reshuffled their receiving corps, placing Mecole Hardman Jr. on injured reserve, keeping Curtis Samuel inactive, elevating Gabe Davis from the practice squad and activating Elijah Moore.
  • Buffalo fell 23-19 to Houston, with Josh Allen sacked eight times as the offense again played without the second-year wideout.
  • Coleman’s season totals stand at 32 receptions for 330 yards and three touchdowns in nine games, and cameras caught him in a pregame conversation with minority owner Tracy McGrady as outside speculation about his future persists.
