The Buffalo Bills are preparing for their first-round playoff game on Sunday at 1 p.m. EST, traveling to face the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Both teams are mostly healthy, but Bills wide receiver Joshua Palmer has been ruled out with an ankle injury. That opens a key opportunity for Keon Coleman, who has had a rollercoaster season.
According to NFL Network’s Cameron Wolfe, Coleman is expected to be active on Sunday after being a healthy scratch multiple times this year and could contribute to an offense in need of outside playmakers alongside quarterback Josh Allen and running back James Cook.

As a rookie, Coleman recorded 29 receptions for 556 yards and four touchdowns, averaging 19.2 yards per catch, and started 12 of the 13 games he played.
This season told a slightly different story. He appeared in 13 games, starting only six, and finished the regular season with 38 receptions for 404 yards and four touchdowns.
The Bills have struggled to get consistent production from the wide receiver position over the past two seasons. Much of the team’s success has relied on Josh Allen’s brilliance and the standout play of running back James Cook, who has been one of the NFL’s top RBs during that span.
According to DraftKings Sportsbook, Buffalo enters Sunday as just an 11½-point favorite, indicating a potentially tight matchup against a Jacksonville team that has been red-hot over the final month of the season.
