Bills head coach Sean McDermott said on Friday that rookie receiver Keon Coleman might be out for several weeks due to a wrist injury, ruling him out for Buffalo’s game against the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday.

Coleman seemed to get injured last Sunday when he was hit hard by Dolphins safety Jordan Poyer while trying to catch a pass during Buffalo’s game-winning drive in their 30-27 victory over Miami. Poyer was penalized for unnecessary roughness on the play, which helped set up Tyler Bass to kick a franchise-record 61-yard field goal.

The rookie, a second-round pick from Florida State, has 417 receiving yards, which is second on the team and is tied for the most receiving touchdowns with three.

The AFC East-leading Bills (7-2) could also be without receiver Amari Cooper for a second game in a row.

Sean McDermott watches from the sidelines

Cooper is listed as questionable after practicing on a limited basis this week, still wearing a brace on his left wrist. Since being traded from Cleveland last month, Cooper has made just five catches for 69 yards and one touchdown in two games.

Backup linebacker Baylon Spector was added to the injury report on Friday, listed as questionable due to a calf injury.

On a positive note, the Bills will get starting cornerback Christian Benford back, as he is no longer listed with an injury after missing last week’s game because of a wrist problem.
