Keon Coleman injury update: Latest news on Bills WR's status in Week 2 game
Coleman walked off, got taped up and returned quickly after trainers evaluated a low ankle sprain, according to Banged Up Bills.
On Thursday night, the Buffalo Bills defeated the Detroit Lions 41-31 at Highmark Stadium, though wide receiver DJ Moore suffered a shoulder injury during the second quarter.
Moore sustained the injury attempting a touchdown catch in the end zone when Josh Allen's pass hit him, and he landed hard on his left shoulder after contact.
Medical staff evaluated Moore for a shoulder injury and a 'stinger'—nerve damage defined as 'a stretch or a pinch to one or more of the nerves branching off the spinal cord.' X-rays were ordered.
Head coach Joe Brady's offense will now rely on Khalil Shakir, Keon Coleman, and Joshua Palmer to absorb increased targets with Moore sidelined for the remainder of Thursday's game.
The 2-0 Bills will host the Los Angeles Chargers on September 27 as the team awaits updates on Moore's recovery timeline for their primary wide receiver position.
