Is Keon Coleman playing tonight vs. Ravens? Exploring the Bills WR's status for divisional round game

Rookie wideout Keon Coleman and the Buffalo Bills will host the Baltimore Ravens at Highmark Stadium on Sunday night for the divisional round of the AFC playoffs. The Ravens easily breezed past the Bills 35-10 when the two teams met in Week 4, but Buffalo will be looking to turn the outcome around this time.

The game will also see two MVP candidates, Lamar Jackson and Josh Allen, go head-to-head for the second time in the playoffs. Since Allen will probably be criticized for his inability to win crucial games if the Bills lose to Baltimore, Keon Coleman will hope to step up for the quarterback.

Exploring Keon Coleman's availability status for divisional round game

Keon Coleman did not appear on the Buffalo Bills' injury report during the week, suggesting he's not dealing with any injury concerns. Therefore, the former Michigan State wide receiver is expected to be available to play against the Baltimore Ravens tonight.

Coleman had already started to solidify himself as one of the Bills' most important offensive players in his rookie campaign before he suffered a wrist injury against the Miami Dolphins in Week 9. Before making a comeback in Week 16 against the Detroit Lions, that ailment kept him out of action for four games in a row.

Since his return from injury, Coleman has played in every game for the Bills, even though he was quiet in the playoff matchup against the Denver Broncos last week, recording only one reception for five yards.

While the Bills' injury reports had 12 players listed during the week, only running back Ray Davis (concussion) was given an injury designation on Friday. Davis was given a questionable tag on the team's final injury report, but he still has a good chance to play.

How has Keon Coleman performed this season?

The Ravens defense will likely focus more on Khalil Shakir and Amari Cooper on Sunday night. This could benefit Keon Coleman, who also has the capacity to produce big plays on offense that might harm Baltimore.

In his 13 games this season, Coleman caught 29 passes for 556 yards and four touchdowns, averaging 19.2 yards per reception.

The second-round pick recorded four receptions for 51 yards in Week 4 when the Bills faced the Ravens in a regular game. Even though his rookie season stats aren't that impressive, Coleman has experienced a rise in targets as the season has progressed, as seen by the fact that he collected a total of 17 targets in Buffalo's last two regular-season outings.

To relieve some of the pressure on their remaining pass catchers, the Bills may want to get Coleman more actively involved against Baltimore after his subdued performance in last week's wild-card victory over the Broncos.
