The Buffalo Bills have added veteran wide receiver and punt returner Greg Dortch to their practice squad, addressing a position that has been a weakness for the team over the past two seasons.
According to Yahoo Sports, Dortch brings a career average of 11.6 yards per return on 99 attempts. Beyond special teams, he has also shown the ability to contribute in the passing game, forcing 25 missed tackles on 79 targets over the last two seasons. His skill at finding separation and getting open against man coverage makes him a potential option in Buffalo's offense as well.
Josh Allen was ranked second on the NFL's annual Top 100 player list heading into the season. The Bills enter the year as one of several contenders in a crowded AFC field. Joe Brady is handling both head coaching and offensive play-calling duties for the first time in his debut season leading the team.
Other roster moves and developments have also drawn attention at One Bills Drive. Safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson has spoken publicly about his motivations for the season. Linebacker Shaq Thompson, who returned to the Bills, described the team as his "true family." Outside linebacker Javon Solomon is expected to take on a broader role in Jim Leonhard's defensive scheme beyond pass rushing.
Buffalo's home opener against the Detroit Lions will also feature a fan vote to choose the colors of the end zones at the stadium.
