Overview

  • The Bills signed 12-year veteran Brandin Cooks to their 53-man roster on Nov. 25 after the Saints released him and he cleared waivers.
  • To open a roster spot, Buffalo released wide receiver Elijah Moore on Nov. 26, reshaping a crowded receiver group ahead of Week 13.
  • Cooks is eligible to face the Steelers this weekend, though multiple outlets note his availability and workload are uncertain on a short week.
  • The 32-year-old logged 19 receptions for 165 yards and no touchdowns in 10 games with New Orleans this season, but his career includes six 1,000-yard campaigns and totals of 729 catches, 9,697 yards and 60 TDs.
  • Buffalo’s move follows recent offensive struggles and injuries, with Mecole Hardman on injured reserve, tight end Dalton Kincaid sidelined by a hamstring, and Keon Coleman a healthy scratch in consecutive games for disciplinary reasons.
