Buffalo Bills WR Keon Coleman diagnosed with sprained foot/toe during preseason opener; seen in walking boot and will miss practice time. HC Joe Brady indicated he didn't have much concern, but the source notes injured feet for wide receivers often nag throughout a season and can sap explosiveness; if severe or if Coleman returns too quickly, prolonged issues may result. Coleman desperately needs a breakout season in Year 3 with the Bills, making this injury timing particularly concerning.
