Kickoff from Orchard Park is set to happen at 4:25PM where the Buffalo Bills will host the Philadelphia Eagles in what could easily be the game of the week, and potential Super Bowl preview. Buffalo already had players like Jordan Poyer and DaQuan Jones ruled out earlier this week, but the big news was whether or not the Bills would have one or both of their top tight ends.
Buffalo will have Dawson Knox available, but Dalton Kincaid has officially been ruled out. In addition to Kincaid missing this game, the Bills also will be going without Keon Coleman once again as he is a healthy scratch. The announcement was made per the Bills’ PR team.
This is now the fourth game where Coleman has been a healthy scratch. He has missed games against the Buccaneers, Texans, and Browns. Now, he will miss this game against the Eagles.
Keon Coleman ruled as healthy scratch once again for Bills
In just his second season with the Bills, Coleman has regressed so much since his breakout Week 1 performance against the Ravens. There have been questions about his work ethic and he has not performed well on the field at all.
You would think that if Buffalo made him a healthy scratch against the Bucs and Texans, he would eventually realize that he has to step up in a big way to get back on the field. Instead, he will now miss back-to-back games once again which does not give him a lot of confidence going into the postseason or even the offseason.
For today’s game, the Bills are going with Khalil Shakir, Joshua Palmer, Gabe Davis, Tyrell Shavers, and Brandin Cooks. The fact that Coleman still can’t get onto the field despite the continued lack of production from Buffalo’s wide receivers shows fans that maybe it’s time to admit that drafting Coleman in 2024 might have been a mistake that Brandon Beane will have to admit.
