In a recent game, Bills wide receiver Keon Coleman made an impact with a touchdown late in the fourth quarter. However, his performance was overshadowed by his absence at the start of the match. Coach Sean McDermott addressed this issue during a press conference on Monday.
Disciplinary Bench for Keon Coleman
Coach McDermott revealed that Coleman was benched for the team’s opening offensive series as a disciplinary measure. The specifics of the disciplinary action were not disclosed, but this is not the first instance of such a situation for Coleman. Last season, he faced a similar penalty, missing the first quarter of a game due to a violation of team rules.
Coaching Expectations
The coaching staff is aiming for “maturation that leads to consistency” from Coleman, who is in his second year as a professional player. McDermott emphasized the expectation for improvement, stating, “We expect more. He has shown growth this year, but we are looking for more consistency.”
Keon Coleman’s Performance Overview
Despite being benched early in the game, Coleman contributed later on and finished the night with four receptions for 23 yards. This performance contributes to his overall statistics for the season:
| Category | Statistics |
