Bills Preparing for Return of Curtis Samuel, More from Coleman Coleman

The first is Curtis Samuel, who is looking to return after being sidelined with an elbow injury after six games. He said during training on Tuesday:

“It’s more of a desire because if you lose, you go home and, of course, we don’t want that. So just getting myself in the right mental space and getting my body back to normal and ready to perform well in training.”

The other was Keon Coleman, who also had his fair share of disciplinary issues that resulted in him being benched multiple times. He said:

“I definitely know what I can do. I still know what I can do. That hasn’t changed. The game I can play hasn’t changed. I just have to be myself and do what I’m supposed to do: do my job.”

Kickoff for the Bills-Broncos game is 4:35 pm ET and will air live on CBS.
