Bills rookie receiver Coleman ruled out against Colts, could miss multiple weeks with wrist injury
‘Coleman appeared to be hurt Sunday when he was blindsided by Dolphins safety Jordan Poyer while attempting to make a catch on Buffalo’s eventual game-winning final drive in a 30-27 victory over Miami.

Will Buffalo Bills WR Amari Cooper play against Indianapolis Colts?
‘Cooper aggravated his wrist in the Bills’ 31-10 win over the Seattle Seahawks in Week 8. He’s been nursing that injury ever since, and it’s still bugging him, as Cooper was limited in the Bills’ practice on Friday.’
Buffalo Bills may need to sign some wide receiver help amid piling injuries
‘Becoming too reliant on Josh Allen is a risk that Buffalo could run into, and if we’re being honest, Allen isn’t afraid to run and put his body in harm’s way when necessary. Even if their WR room was perfectly healthy, there does seem to be a need for Buffalo to add a free agent at the position.’
Bills get bad news regarding injury to WR Keon Coleman
‘Wide receiver Keon Coleman has been ruled out for Sunday’s matchup vs. the Colts, per head coach Sean McDermott in a radio appearance on WGR 550. Coleman suffered a wrist injury in the final moments of Buffalo’s Week 9 matchup with the Miami Dolphins. Josh Allen threw a deep pass to Coleman down the sideline when the rookie receiver was hit by former Bill and current Dolphins safety Jordan Poyer, who left his feet to make contact with the head of Coleman and was penalized for doing so. The hit caused Coleman to leave the game after taking a lot of force to his wrist, and he will now miss the Bills’ Week 10 game because of it.’

McDermott needs his players ready to step up if called upon
‘”To be honest with you, I just listened to what our trainer says. He gives me the information. When he gives me the green light, that’s when he’s playing. To this point, we haven’t had that since he’s gone down with the injury. So we’ll see where it goes. Obviously, he’s a really good player, and so he’s a good player for us. But, all the while, somebody else has to step up and fill in for both Keon in this case, and if Amari can’t go.”‘

Carucci Take 2: Resilient Bills are built to avoid potential trap game vs. the Colts
‘There’s reason to believe the Bills enter Sunday’s game with greater attention on overcoming the challenges of being without emerging rookie receiver Keon Coleman, who could be sidelined for multiple games with a wrist injury, and veteran newcomer Amari Cooper, who is questionable also with a wrist injury, as well as the injuries to fullback Reggie Gilliam (hip, questionable) and linebacker Baylon Spector (calf, questionable) than on the inferiority of the Colts.’
