Keon Coleman's Struggles: A Setback for the Bills?

Keon Coleman, the Bills' second-round pick from the 2024 NFL Draft, seems to be losing his spot on the team. He might sit out again on Thursday night against the Texans, which would be his second game in a row on the bench. Coleman's issues started last week when he was late for a meeting. This wasn't his first mistake, though. Earlier in the season, he was benched during a game against the Patriots after fumbling the ball. Bills coach Sean McDermott said Coleman had used up his chances. "That was my decision, " McDermott said after a win over the Buccaneers. "It is disappointing, but I still believe in the young man. " Coleman had a great start to the season with eight catches for 112 yards and a touchdown in Week 1. But since then, his performance has dropped. He hasn't had more than 50 yards in any game and has only 32 catches for 330 yards and three touchdowns on the season. After being benched, Coleman said he and McDermott were "on the same page" and took responsibility. "Doing what I’m supposed to do, doing the right things, being where I’m supposed to be … You can’t make those types of mistakes, " Coleman said. "You’re a professional. " The Bills are in a tough spot this season. They are chasing the Patriots in the AFC East and have hopes of making it to the Super Bowl. But with Coleman's struggles, it's unclear if he will be a part of that journey.
