Bills' Rising Star Keon Coleman Overcomes Groin Injury Scare Ahead of Season Opener

The Buffalo Bills were eagerly anticipating a breakout season from wide receiver Keon Coleman, their 2024 second-round draft pick. However, the optimism surrounding the young receiver was tempered this week as he unexpectedly landed on the injury report with a groin issue.

Coleman had been taking all the necessary measures to set up for a Year 2 breakout after a rookie season that saw him slump down the stretch. But the groin soreness, which had first surfaced earlier in the summer, flared up again in the days leading up to the Bills' season opener against the Baltimore Ravens on September 7.

Fortunately, the situation took a positive turn on Friday. Coleman was listed as a full participant in practice and carried no designation ahead of the game. When addressing reporters, the 6-foot-4 receiver displayed no concern over his availability for Sunday Night Football, stating that he was "trying to stay on top of it with treatment and staying in the training room" to ensure he felt his best for the competition.

With the injury scare now behind him, Coleman is poised to pick up where he left off in 2024, when he averaged an impressive 19.2 yards per reception. The Bills and their fans will be eager to see the young wideout showcase his talents and justify the team's faith in him as they kick off their campaign against the Ravens.
