Bills vs. Colts, Week 10: Mid-Week Injury Update
Keon Coleman remains absent from practice, while Christian Benford is back to full participation.
As the Buffalo Bills prepare for their upcoming game against the Indianapolis Colts, they are dealing with a slew of injuries. Their medical staff is working to finalize player statuses before official injury designations are announced.
Injury Improvements for the Buffalo Bills
- CB Christian Benford (wrist)
- LB Terrel Bernard (ankle)
- WR Curtis Samuel (pectoral)
- DE Casey Toohill (knee)
- CB Kaiir Elam (shoulder)
- DB Cam Lewis (shoulder)
Linebacker Terrel Bernard has been a full participant from the start of the week, a positive sign for his availability. Cornerback Christian Benford, who missed Week 9, is also practicing fully. Curtis Samuel remains limited but is expected to play, especially with rookie wide receiver Keon Coleman sidelined. While Kaiir Elam’s shoulder injury seemed concerning, he returned to play with a shoulder harness and practiced in a non-contact jersey today.
Injuries Holding Steady
- WR Amari Cooper (wrist)
- FB Reggie Gilliam (hip)
- WR Mack Hollins (shoulder)
Amari Cooper and Reggie Gilliam, both having missed a week, are still in recovery but could return Sunday. Mack Hollins, who had been in a non-contact jersey for three weeks without missing a game, remains in a similar situation. For quarterback Josh Allen, having healthy players available will be crucial with some spots likely to remain unfilled.
Injuries Worsening
- WR Keon Coleman (wrist)
Keon Coleman had been growing in his role within the Bills’ offense, earning quarterback Josh Allen’s trust and contributing significantly to the team. However, Coach Sean McDermott has indicated Coleman could miss more than just this week. The positive note is Coleman was present at practice, working individually and without a brace on his wrist.
Other Players Receiving Treatment (Not Expected to Miss Time)
- QB Josh Allen (left arm)
- OT Spencer Brown (wrist)
- WR Mack Hollins (shoulder)
- CB Taron Johnson (forearm)
- DT DaQuan Jones (foot)
- TE Dawson Knox (ankle)
- TE Dalton Kincaid (knee)
- TE Quintin Morris (shoulder/hamstring)
- S Taylor Rapp (foot)
- LB Dorian Williams (knee)
Players Still on IR
- LB Matt Milano (bicep)
- OL Tylan Grable (groin/core)
- DT DeWayne Carter (wrist)
- DT Duwuane Smoot (wrist)
With another day of practice left, it remains unclear who will receive injury designations and who will be cleared for Sunday’s game.
