After being a healthy scratch multiple times this season, as he was in Week 16, along with Gabe Davis, all eyes are on the Bills’ Week 17 game against the Philadelphia Eagles to see if Keon will suit up.
And we now have some news.
Per The Athletic’s Joe Buscaglia, Coleman, along with Davis, is participating in pre-game warm-ups.
“All six of the Bills WRs are going through pregame warmups in taking throws from the QBs,” Joe posted on X. “That includes Keon Coleman and Gabe Davis, who were healthy scratches last week vs. the Browns.”
Then, the Bills dropped their inactives list, and Keon was on it.

Keon running out of time to prove worth
Given that Keon still has a couple of years left on his contract, the receiver likely won’t be shipped out after this year, but as far as it pertains to his ability to be called on in Buffalo’s playoff run? Yeah, it might impact it.
A healthy scratch last week, with the Bills going for a receiver who could also play special teams, it will be an interesting watch to see if Buffalo gives Keon the tick of approval.

Needing a win to keep the AFC East title hopes alive, the Bills will need all hands on deck to slay the Eagles, which includes Coleman.
It has been an up-and-down year for Coleman, but if he’s given a chance, he might still have his crowning moment.
