Bills Scrutinize Keon Coleman’s Effort as Veteran Receivers Join Competition

Team leaders are re-evaluating his role after public questions about effort.

Overview

  • Head coach Sean McDermott said Coleman’s effort is addressed when it falls short and acknowledged it has been inconsistent.
  • Tracking data showed 1.9 yards of average separation against the Dolphins and roughly 2.8 this season, and he converted only 37 of 86 air yards in the 30-13 loss.
  • Josh Allen offered guarded support after the game, pausing before saying, “He got one today, so yeah.”
  • Buffalo added competition at wide receiver, signing Mecole Hardman to the practice squad and bringing back Gabe Davis on the practice squad.
  • Analysts urged a reduced role or usage change for Coleman, while Hall of Famer Andre Reed publicly encouraged him to stay focused and keep progressing.
