During Tuesday’s open practice inside the new Highmark Stadium, Buffalo Bills receiver Keon Coleman was a notable non-participant because he was wearing a walking boot, and now we know the specifics of his injury. Kind of.
Per ESPN’s Cameron Wolfe, the third-year receiver has been diagnosed with a sprained toe/foot:
While it’s good to get a specific diagnosis, I’m not sure what to make of the “foot/toe” designation. It’s also good that Brady reportedly “doesn’t have much concern,” although injured feet for wide receivers often nag throughout a season and unsurprisingly can sap them of much-needed explosiveness. If even remotely severe, returning to the field too quickly frequently creates prolonged issues.
We’ll see if this is a very minor sprain or if it lingers into the regular season for Coleman, who desperately needs some semblance of a breakout season in Year 3 with the Bills.
