Buffalo Bills Suffer Massive Blow As Starting Wide Receiver Ruled Out For Wild Card Game vs. Jaguars
This article was originally published on Total Pro Sports.
The Buffalo Bills will start a new playoff run on Sunday. They will face the inspired Jacksonville Jaguars, the No. 3 in the AFC this season. Buffalo comes from a dominant 35-8 win over the New York Jets, which followed a heartbreaking loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 17.
They will visit Trevor Lawrence and Co. for what appears to be a high-flying matchup between the perennial contenders and a team on an eight-game winning streak. The stakes are high for Josh Allen and the Bills, as some think he will be to blame if his team loses.
NFL reporter Cameron Wolfe shared bad news ahead of Sunday’s duel. Bills wide receiver Josh Palmer, who dealt with an ankle issue, has been ruled out for the Jaguars duel. Wolfe adds that second-year Keon Coleman will be activated and could play in tomorrow’s game.
Bills WR Josh Palmer downgraded to OUT for Sunday’s game vs. Jaguars.
I’m told WR Keon Coleman is expected to be active tomorrow and could play a role for offense that needs playmakers to step up.

Palmer played 12 games this season, recording 22 receptions for 303 yards.
Buffalo Bills Will Face A Tough Challenge In The Jaguars
The 2025 NFL playoffs present a solid opportunity for the Buffalo Bills to finally win a Super Bowl. Despite losing the AFC East title to the New England Patriots (14-3), they have a promising scenario in this year’s postseason.
Patrick Mahomes’ Kansas City Chiefs, who have dominated the Bills in the playoffs, missed the postseason in 2025. Other notable threats, such as Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson and Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow, will also watch the postseason from home.
The AFC landscape suffered major changes. While the Broncos, Patriots, and Jaguars have strong teams, the Bills have a lot of experience. This can ultimately give them the edge during this run.
