The Buffalo Bills maintained their lead in the AFC East on Sunday with a close 30-27 victory over the Miami Dolphins. However, the win came at a cost. Rookie wide receiver Keon Coleman suffered a wrist injury on Buffalo’s final drive and did not return for the game’s last few plays. His injury may be significant, with further testing scheduled for Monday to assess the severity, as reported by insider Dianna Russini. Head Coach Sean McDermott confirmed the need for additional evaluation.
Coleman has recently become a key offensive contributor, amassing 16 catches for 216 yards and a touchdown over his last three games after a slow start in building chemistry with quarterback Josh Allen. The Bills are now facing potential setbacks in their receiving corps, with Amari Cooper already missing a game and Curtis Samuel dealing with ongoing issues.
Despite these concerns, Buffalo’s outlook remains strong. Following the victory over Miami, the Bills are comfortably ahead in the AFC East standings, leading the New York Jets by four games. With only two losses, they remain in the race for the top AFC seed, though upcoming games could challenge their depth if Coleman’s absence extends.
