Bills rule out WR Palmer; Coleman likely active

"Palmer is dealing with an ankle injury that led him to miss practice all week, but he was originally listed as questionable for Sunday's Wild Card game against the Jacksonville Jaguars (1 p.m. EST, CBS). Coach Sean McDermott said on Friday that they would "see how he does." Knee and ankle injuries led to him missing five games during the regular season, however, the receiver did play in the team's Week 18 game against the New York Jets (84% of snaps)."

"The Bills will be without wide receiver Joshua Palmer to start the postseason as he was downgraded to out on Saturday. Second-year receiver Keon Coleman is expected to be active with Palmer down. The Bills have three other players questionable for the game -- kicker Matt Prater (right quad), running back Ty Johnson (ankle) and linebacker Shaq Thompson (neck). McDermott said that Thompson "should be good" to play."

Joshua Palmer was downgraded to out Saturday and will miss the Bills' Wild Card game in Buffalo because of an ankle injury. Palmer missed practice all week after the ankle issue and had been listed as questionable for the game against the Jacksonville Jacksonville Jaguars. Coach Sean McDermott said on Friday they would "see how he does." Knee and ankle injuries cost Palmer five regular-season games, though he played 84% of snaps in Week 18 against the New York Jets. Second-year receiver Keon Coleman is expected to be active in Palmer's absence. Other questionables include kicker Matt Prater (right quad), running back Ty Johnson (ankle) and linebacker Shaq Thompson (neck), with McDermott saying Thompson "should be good" to play.
