His return as a full participant on the first official injury report indicates he is on track to be available for Buffalo’s opener. At 25 years old, Shakir is expected to play a key role in the Bills’ passing game after producing career-high numbers last season. He recorded 821 receiving yards and four touchdowns on 76 catches across 15 games in his third year, emerging as one of quarterback Josh Allen’s most reliable targets.</p><p>Coleman, meanwhile, is still working through a groin injury that has limited his preparation leading into Week 1. The 22-year-old wideout enters his second NFL season after showing flashes of big-play ability as a rookie. He totaled 556 yards and four touchdowns on just 29 receptions, averaging 19.2 yards per catch over 13 games. Coleman’s ability to stretch defenses vertically made him a valuable complement to Buffalo’s offense in 2024, but his status for Sunday’s game remains uncertain.</p><h2><b>Khalil Shakir returns, Keon Coleman’s status uncertain for Bills’ Week 1 vs. Ravens</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/Khalil-Shakir-is-congratulated-by-teammates-Keon-Coleman-Dion-Dawkins-and-Spencer-Brown-on-his-touchdown.jpg"><figcaption>© Tina MacIntyre-Yee/Democrat and Chronicle / USA TODAY NETWORK</figcaption></figure><p>The Bills will need contributions from both receivers as they <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/buffalo-bills/bills-josh-allen-reveals-why-he-was-so-reserved-in-early-hard-knocks-episodes">face the Ravens on Sunday night</a> at Highmark Stadium. The matchup is a rematch of <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/buffalo-bills/bills-news-buffalo-reuniting-wr-after-stint-with-jaguars">last year’s AFC Divisional Round</a>, which Buffalo won, and it will feature two of the league’s top quarterbacks in Allen and Lamar Jackson. Kickoff is scheduled for 8:20 p.m. ET on NBC.</p><p>Shakir’s availability provides stability to a receiving corps that underwent changes during the offseason. With veteran additions and younger players vying for roles, Shakir’s presence offers Allen a familiar and productive option. His consistency on short and intermediate routes helped sustain drives last season, and his return from injury comes at a critical moment for Buffalo’s offensive continuity.</p><p>Coleman’s situation is less definitive, but the Bills have monitored his progress closely. A limited designation on the first injury report often signals a cautious approach rather than a definitive setback. If available, Coleman’s size and downfield ability could be a difference-maker against a Ravens secondary that prides itself on physical coverage.</p><p>As the week progresses, Buffalo will continue evaluating Coleman’s readiness while preparing for one of the most anticipated opening matchups of the NFL season. For now, the Bills know they will have Shakir back in the lineup, while Coleman’s status will be clarified as game day approaches.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

I don’t really need motivation,” Coleman continued. “I’m self-motivated. I come here every day to work. This is a job, but to me it’s more — it’s a hobby and a profession. So, it’s something I love to do and I don’t need nobody to hit me on the back to make me go even harder. I’m coming with it from the jump.”</p><p>Coleman was taken with the 33rd overall pick in the second round by Buffalo out of Florida State, where he could be seen as a breakout option this season.

It’s a fate the Bills have grown accustomed to after taking strong teams into the playoffs in <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/chiefs-news-kansas-city-nfl-history-bills-5-year-nightmare">each of the last five seasons</a> only to experience heartbreak – their last three playoff losses to the Kansas City Chiefs have been by a combined 12 points.</p><p>Bills’ GM Brandon Beane hoped to replenish the roster in the draft, particularly on the offensive side of the ball, after losing key pieces during the offseason. His top pick, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/bills-news-buffalo-finds-stefon-diggs-replacement-in-keon-coleman-nfl-draft">wideout Keon Coleman</a> out of Florida State, did not pay immediate dividends for Buffalo.</p><p>Now, in a ranking of each team’s <a href="https://www.nfl.com/news/nfl-rookie-grades-ranking-each-2024-draft-class-from-nos-1-to-32" rel="noopener">2024 draft class</a> by NFL.com’s Gennaro Filice, Coleman’s lackluster campaign is dragging the Bills’ overall grade down. Coleman struggled to create separation and make contested catches as a pro, according to Filice. “His inability to separate was clear to the naked eye… Meanwhile, Pro Football Focus charted that Coleman received 19 contested targets and caught just seven, giving him a subpar conversion rate of 36.8 percent,” Filice wrote.</p><p>“Coleman struggled to find a connection with Josh Allen on any sort of pass, catching just 10 of his 29 targets over the final seven games (playoffs included).” Despite solid contributions from rookie running back Ray Davis, Coleman’s disappointing debut season led to a draft grade of D+ from NFL.com.</p><h2><b>The Bills gambled on a rookie WR in 2024</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/Keon-Coleman.jpg"><figcaption>Denny Medley-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>To be fair, a great deal was expected from Coleman in his first year in Western New York. The Bills lost their top two wideouts prior to the 2024 campaign. All-Pro receiver Stefon Diggs was <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/texans-news-houston-acquires-stefon-diggs-blockbuster-bills-trade">traded to the Houston Texans</a> after four years in Buffalo that included four straight 1,000-yard seasons. And the Bills let Gabe Davis walk in free agency, allowing the Jacksonville Jaguars to sign him to a <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/grading-gabe-davis-3-year-39-million-contract-jaguars">three-year, $39 million deal</a>.</p><p>Diggs and Davis combined for 241 targets, 152 receptions, 1,929 yards and 15 touchdowns in 2023, in addition to their chemistry with quarterback Josh Allen and proven ability to show up in big games. Coleman was targeted 57 times in his rookie season, contributing 29 receptions for 556 yards and four scores.</p><p>It’s certainly not an embarrassing showing. But with Allen and the Bills seemingly on the cusp of making the leap to conference champs, a massive downgrade at wideout did not help. Allen, as you may have heard, still managed to <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl-news-tom-brady-mvp-vote-revealed-fiery-josh-allen-lamar-jackson-debate">win league MVP</a> despite not having his best statistical output. And Buffalo managed to win 13 games and reach the AFC Championship, where the team fell to the Kansas City Chiefs 32-29.</p><p>Allen led the Bills to the 10th ranked overall offense in 2024 as the group averaged 359.1 yards per game. Last season Buffalo finished fourth overall, with 374.5 yards per contest. In 2023, the Bills were second in the league with 397.6 yards of offense each week.</p><p>Was the dropoff all on Coleman? Of course not. And the team should have had a better plan after losing such a significant part of the passing game. At the very least, Buffalo shouldn’t have traded back in the draft with the Chiefs, who selected Xavier Worthy with the Bills’ original first round pick.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

However, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/bills-news-buffalo-makes-final-keon-coleman-injury-decision-49ers">an unfortunate wrist held Coleman back</a>.</p><p>He missed four games in early November with his wrist injury. And when he came back, general manager Brandon Beane <a href="https://www.buffalobills.com/news/we-are-not-giving-in-bills-gm-brandon-beane-breaks-down-the-2024-season-and-addresses-offseason-plans" rel="noopener">wasn’t necessarily pleased</a> with his performance, via team reporters Alec White and Maddy Glab.</p><p>“I would say, probably a little disappointed in the return from injury. I did not see the same player down the stretch from a physicality, some of the things that he needs to use his size,” Beane said. “Some of that is youth, some of that is, I’m not sure how many injuries he’s had to overcome in-season and come back. That takes a certain experience level, how to deal with an injury and how to return.”</p><p>Still, Beane remains confident in Coleman’s ability to develop. He certainly hasn’t given up on him and still has hopes the wide receiver will become a crucial component of the offense.</p><p>“He has a skill set that we think will play well in this offense, but it’s up to him,” Beane said. “He’s going to have to work very hard this offseason, him and Josh continue to work on that rapport together.”</p><p>“But I’m optimistic that he’ll do those things, and that we’ll see him continue to improve going into year two,” Beane concluded.</p><p>Keon Coleman ended his rookie year with 29 catches for 556 yards and four touchdowns. However, he broke 100 yards receiving in just one game. He had less than 40 yards receiving in the Bills’ final six games of the season, including the playoffs. Coleman caught three passes for 22 scoreless yards in the postseason.</p><p>So while there were flashes of brilliance, Beane and the Bills are expecting more from Coleman. But entering the offseason fully healthy, and with a year of catching passes from Josh Allen under their belt, Buffalo still believes <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/bills-news-key-attributes-keon-coleman-brings-buffalo-offense-josh-allen">Coleman can be a key offensive threat</a> in the future.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
