Bills elevate Frank Gore Jr. and Greg Dortch for season opener

The Buffalo Bills elevated running back Frank Gore Jr. and wide receiver Greg Dortch from the practice squad for their season-opening game against the Houston Texans on September 13, 2026. The move addresses depth concerns, as running back Ty Johnson is listed as questionable for the contest. Greg Dortch arrives with significant experience as a punt returner, having averaged 11.6 yards per return last season, and provides additional depth at wide receiver. Frank Gore Jr. saw action during the preseason with the Bills and previously appeared in a post-season game against the Jacksonville Jaguars. The team previously held only five wide receivers on the active roster, making the addition of Greg Dortch a strategic move for special teams and offensive rotation. Both players remain eligible for the matchup as the Bills prepare to face the Texans in Houston.
