   The Bills signed Dortch from the practice squad to the active roster Friday, Maddy Glabb reports.

   Dortch has expended two practice squad elevations for the Bills so far. The returner has played four offensive snaps and 18 special-teams snaps in the two contests, totaling 133 kick return yards and 46 punt return yards. With defensive back Jordan Hancock (hamstring) moving to IR, the team utilized the freshly opened spot to secure its primary returner a spot on the 53-man roster.

   Dortch reverted to the Bills' practice squad Thursday, per the NFL's transaction log.

   Dortch played a total of 12 snaps (four on offense, eight on special teams) and was the Bills' primary returner on special teams in Thursday's 41-31 win over the Lions, logging 36 yards on three punt returns and turning two kickoffs into 51 yards. It's the second consecutive game in which Dortch has been elevated to the active roster, and he's eligible to be elevated only once more for the rest of the regular season before having to be signed to the active roster in order to suit up again for the Bills in 2026.

   The Bills elevated Dortch from the practice squad to the active roster ahead of Thursday's game versus the Lions.

   Dortch was elevated to the active roster for Sunday's 36-31 victory over the Texans. That trend will continue Thursday, with the 28-year-old suiting up for a potential high-scoring contest. The Bills' receiving corps is healthy in Week 2, so Dortch will presumably spend most of his time on special teams once again.

   Dortch reverted to the Bills' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

   Dortch was elevated to the active roster for a return role with the Bills' special-teams unit in Week 1. The wide receiver played 10 special-teams snaps, taking two punt returns for 10 yards and three kickoff returns for 82 yards en route to a 36-31 Bills victory. Dortch can only be elevated for two more regular-season games before he must be signed to the active roster to continue playing for Buffalo this season.

   Dortch will suit up for his Bills debut Sunday against the Texans.

   Dortch was released by the Lions a few weeks ago, but he caught on with the Bills and was elevated from their practice squad Saturday. He previously caught 24 or more passes in four consecutive seasons with the Cardinals, but his role in Buffalo currently projects to primarily be in the return game, as he presumably remains behind the likes of Keon Coleman and Joshua Palmer (and starters DJ Moore and Khalil Shakir) on the WR depth chart.
