Sean McDermott says ‘we’ll see’ about Keon Coleman’s status for Bills’ game Thursday
‘There’s not much time for both to get cleared to play. Plus, the Bills need this to work with Coleman. They spent a high second-round pick on him less than two years ago, and he’s shown flashes of being a productive perimeter receiver for Josh Allen. Coleman’s primary issue, on and off the field, is consistency. He had a breakthrough performance in Week 1, catching eight passes for 112 yards and a touchdown in Buffalo’s come-from-behind win over Baltimore.’

They pulled off an incredible comeback victory two weeks ago, scoring 26 unanswered points in the fourth quarter to beat AFC South rival Jacksonville 36-29.

Bills’ Josh Allen could be without two WRs for Thursday vs. Texans: Will Keon Coleman return?
‘Samuel injured his elbow and his neck, while Hardman left the game with a calf injury. Hardman made his season debut and was Buffalo’s punt returner just one day after the club released Brandon Codrington, who had been inactive the past few weeks after losing the job. Hardman played only four offensive snaps, but one was a deep throw from quarterback Josh Allen that the former Chiefs playmaker just missed.’

Tale of the tape: Bills settled down after being gashed by anemic Tampa Bay rushing attack in first half

So, ultimately becomes about developing trust and the trust that your teammates have in you, and that trust builds through repetition and consistency.’
Bills fans will love Sean McDermott’s scouting report on Gabe Davis vs. Buccaneers
‘That is likely a bridge too far, but there’s no denying Allen’s confidence when he looks Davis’ way, and he even had a 22-yard reception against the Buccaneers, so it isn’t just short passes where Gabe excels.’
Bills non-committal on Keon Coleman’s availability in Week 12 vs. Texans
‘“We’ll see,” McDermott said. “We’ll see how it goes. Take it one day at a time. We addressed the situation yesterday. We’re now moving forward, and we’ll take it one day at a time from there.”‘

When Allen is playing like this, the Bills (7-3) are pretty much impossible to beat.”‘
