Coleman wrist/forearm injury?

[BuffaloButt]

The fact that we wish he was playing just shows he's been a very good draft pick and Beane hit on another player!  Great to see he's a player!!

 

GO BILLS!!!

It would appear to be a good thing that Keon wasn't wearing a brace or wrappings on his arm/hand. Obviously, he needs to take as long as necessary to heal up. The Bills have a stranglehold on the AFCE so there is no hurry to get him back on the field.

actually it could become quite critical to edge out the Ravens for the 2 seed

He's not gonna play.

 

If he plays I swear I'll eat two slices of New York style thin crust pizza with pepperoni, fresh out of the oven live on YouTube with a medium Pepsi Zero light ice and in a comfortable chair in front of a large screen tv.*

If he's out 4-6 weeks, he'd be wearing some kind of brace or having surgery. Idk....seems unlikely but who knows. 

Could be a partially torn ligament that could go either way.

Ligaments heal slowly, and the slightest bend the wrong way will re-tear the healing in progress and reset the healing clock.  Source: have had partially torn ligaments.

I have no idea what it is... but a wrist or a lower arm injury for a receiver who is being expected to catch a ball from 17 is an issue. Lets just hope its a pain management thing and not structural.

In my opinion, the most important thing for the Bills is to be healthy rolling into the postseason.

If we can't get the #1 seed and first round bye, I'm not really sure anything else is critically important.

 

At this point, it's impossible to determine how seeding will look.  What happens if the Bengals sneak into the playoffs and land the #7 spot?  If that happens, it may be more advantageous in the Wild Card Round to have a lower seed.  I would rather play the Steelers, Chargers, Broncos, Colts, etc.

 

And how many times has the weather in Orchard Park worked to our DISADVANTAGE?  Imagine we have a matchup against the Ravens, and the forecast is snow and heavy winds.  I would rather get into a Josh Allen vs. Lamar Jackson shootout, as opposed to a heavy ground game.  And considering the Chiefs are now carried by the defense, it may be similar against them.

Week to week Maybe more, according to McDermott

I'll just say that if Coleman is out 2+ weeks and Cooper misses more time, it is a pretty big failure to not bring in anyone else at the deadline. I know the division is wrapped up and the 1 seed is a long-shot but hosting a team like Baltimore is a pretty darn big deal instead of having to go there in january.

That could mean season ending I guess?  

Usually "day to day" is questionable/doubtful

"Week to week" is doubtful/out

"maybe more" = IR?

[julian]

The pessimism doesn’t jive with the video of him with no wrap or brace on the practice field while he stops his sprints to bend over and tie his shoes with seemingly zero issues or discomfort showing his fine motor skills.

 

 Obviously this isn’t proof of anything, but you would have no idea of any injury solely based off that practice video and his body language. 

[Goin Breakdown]

Someone on defense has been breathing on our offense this year. The injury bug has spread. 

[Antonio]

Well... hope we have some type of WR crew for Sunday hehehe

 

I just don´t understand why does McD annaunced it today?! Why not keep it as a GTD and make the Colts prep as if he was gonna play?

Doesn't really sound like what Buffalobaumer is gloating about being correct with.

I'm thinking if we didn't have the bye after the Chiefs, they'd more strongly have considered IR. 

[NickelCity]

Gotta be an after the bye return

I was thinking tendon which generally wont heal without surgery.   I am no doctor but I have "heard" about injuries that partially tears and ultimately the player needs surgery but there is an option to play through it to finish the year and hope further injury does not occur.  So there could be ligament and muscle strains/tears that could heal along with a partial tendon or maybe even a complete tendon tear.  He has no splint and is not playing while Cooper has a splint and could play....point is there are lots of different injuries you could have that have different treatment regimens.
