Keon Coleman will once again be conspicuously absent for the Buffalo Bills this week.
The second-year wide receiver is a healthy scratch for Buffalo's "Thursday Night Football" game against the Houston Texans, a week after being ruled inactive due to reported disciplinary issues. With Curtis Samuel also inactive and Mecole Hardman Jr. hitting injured reserve, the Bills again elevated Gabe Davis from the practice squad.

The issue with Coleman last week was the 22-year-old reportedly missing a team meeting on Friday. It's unclear if anything else happened in the time since, though Bills head coach Sean McDermott indicated earlier this week that earning the team's trust back won't be an automatic process.
From ESPN:
"I'm aware of how he handled it more publicly, and I appreciate that and respect that," coach Sean McDermott said on Tuesday. "And now it's again, one day at a time, and earning the trust and respect of the teammates. And that takes time, so that each day that goes by, you check 'em off as wins, trust builds. So, that's the important piece of it."
The Bills offense barely missed a beat without Coleman in a 44-32 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
