The Bills placed Palmer (ankle) on injured reserve Saturday.
Palmer was held out of all drills Wednesday through Friday due to an ankle injury before Buffalo ruled him out for Sunday's wild-card game at Jacksonville.

Panthers' David Moore: Not playing vs. Rams
Moore (coach's decision) is inactive for Carolina's wild-card matchup versus the Rams on Saturday.
Moore was just activated off injured reserve earlier in the week after missing time with an elbow injury but will nonetheless be held out of Saturday's game. Tetairoa McMillan, Jalen Coker and Xavier Legette should continue to serve as the team's top receivers against Los Angeles, while Moore will look to suit up next week should the Panthers advance to the divisional round.

Keon Coleman WR | BUF
Bills' Keon Coleman: Larger role incoming?
Coleman is expected to have an expanded offensive role while Joshua Palmer (ankle) is sidelined during Sunday's wild-card matchup against the Jaguars, Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network reports.
The 22-year-old wideout was a healthy scratch in four of the Bills' final eight regular-season games this year, but he's expected to take on an expanded offensive role Sunday due to Palmer being ruled out. Coleman, a 2024 second-round pick from Florida State, has caught 38 of 59 targets for 404 yards and four touchdowns across 13 appearances in 2025. Even so, Coleman is expected to play behind Khalil Shakir, Brandin Cooks and Tyrell Shavers during the wild-card round.
