Why Keon Coleman isn't playing today for Bills vs. Browns in surprise roster decision image

Keon Coleman is inactive again.

This time, the news came out just before the official inactives report on Sunday morning before the Buffalo Bills took on the Cleveland Browns in Week 16.

Coleman missed two games earlier this season as a scratch for disciplinary reasons.

This time, it's not discipline, but regardless, there will be no Coleman.

Instead, the Bills have Mecole Hardman active in his place after being activated from IR.

Why isn't Keon Coleman playing today?

Keon Coleman is inactive as a coach's decision.

This is what NFL Network's Cameron Wolfe reported on X:

"Bills WR Keon Coleman will be a healthy INACTIVE today, per source. This is a coach decision - not discipline related."

The Bills have lots of options at wide receiver: Khalil Shakir, Joshua Palmer, Brandin Cooks, Tyrell Shavers and Hardman.

Coleman will be in street clothes rather than in uniform. Gabe Davis is also inactive.
