The Bills signed Dortch to their practice squad Monday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
In a Lions receiving corps that isn't exactly deep behind Amon-Ra St. Brown, Jameson Williams and Isaac TeSlaa, Dortch was unable to escape cut-down day Sunday as a roster casualty in Detroit. Upon joining the Bills, Dortch similarly has a difficult path to relevance, though two of the team's top three wide receivers -- Khalil Shakir (undisclosed) and Keon Coleman (foot) -- are tending to injuries at the moment. In any case, Buffalo will have three opportunities to elevate Dortch from the practice squad in-season before needing to make a decision to add him to the active roster.
The Lions are releasing Dortch, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
When Dortch linked up with Detroit in the offseason, his best path to playing time, or even a roster spot, was his ability as a returner, as the Lions offense runs primarily through its big four of RB Jahmyr Gibbs, WRs Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jameson Williams and TE Sam LaPorta (hip). After the exhibition slate concluded, though, the team has opted to move on from Dortch. Aa a vested veteran, he'll be able to sign with another team immediately.
Everyone sharing the ball with Greg, most valuable first.
Above the line the plan was to throw; below it, to run.
The WRs priced immediately above and below him.
