Overview
- Greg Dortch, who was released by the Detroit Lions in final 53-man cuts, signed with the Buffalo Bills' practice squad on Tuesday, Sept. 1, 2026.
- Buffalo added Dortch to address a weak punt-return unit after the team entered the season without an experienced primary returner.
- Dortch brings established production as a slot receiver and return specialist, with about 145 career catches, roughly 1,310 receiving yards, 10 receiving touchdowns, and nearly 100 career punt returns.
- Familiarity helps the fit because Bills special teams coordinator Jeff Rodgers and wide receivers coach Drew Terrell coached Dortch in Arizona, and the Bills' front office had tracked him before his March signing with Detroit.
- The move ends local speculation that Detroit planned to re-sign him right after cutdowns and gives Dortch a short-term pathway to game-day elevations if he wins the punt-return job or provides offensive depth.
