Buffalo Bills sign wide receiver Greg Dortch to their practice squad

The Buffalo Bills signed wide receiver Greg Dortch to the team's practice squad following his release by the Detroit Lions. The move comes after the Bills maintained roster depth with only five wide receivers on their 53-man roster. General manager Brandon Beane confirmed the team expressed interest in acquiring the veteran return specialist earlier this offseason before he initially signed elsewhere. Head coach Joe Brady stated that while the team evaluates its options for the punt return position, no immediate decision has been finalized regarding the starting lineup for the season opener against the Houston Texans. Buffalo begins its regular season schedule in two weeks. Dortch brings career experience as a punt returner to a Buffalo special teams unit that experienced inconsistencies throughout the summer training period.
