Veteran wide receiver Gabe Davis has signed with the Buffalo Bills, returning to the AFC East on a practice squad deal as he continues to recover from a torn meniscus he suffered last year. The move comes after Davis visited Pittsburgh twice, fueling speculation about a potential stint with the Steelers, per ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
Davis was selected by Buffalo in the fourth round of the 2020 NFL Draft, 128th overall. In four seasons with the Bills, he accumulated 163 receptions for 2,730 yards. His return to Buffalo on the practice squad provides the organization with experienced depth at wide receiver while he works back to full health.
The Steelers had shown interest in Davis, with two cross-country visits indicating they were at least considering a role for him in their receiving corps. For now, Davis will remain with Buffalo, and the arrangement allows him to rehab in a familiar environment while the Bills evaluate his return-to-play timeline.
Summary: Gabe Davis will stay with the Bills on the practice squad as he recovers from a torn meniscus, after prior interest from the Steelers and a notable four-year run in Buffalo.
Positive take: The move keeps a proven, versatile receiver in a familiar system, giving Davis a clear path to re-enter action and potentially strengthen Buffalo’s receiving depth as he progresses in his rehab.
