The Buffalo Bills opened the 21-day window for rookie wide receiver Justin Shorter earlier this week. The transaction comes as Buffalo (7-6) is set to host the Dallas Cowboys in Week 15.
At some point within that three-week period, the Bills must put Shorter to the active roster or keep him on injured reserve.
A fifth-round rookie, Shorter sustained a hamstring injury in Buffalo’s preseason finale on Aug. 26. He has not appeared in a regular season game with the team yet.
Shorter is a 6-foot-4 target, which makes him an interesting piece.
Shorter being activated is of some interest because of the lack of production the Bills have gotten from Gabe Davis this season. He has multiple games without a catch.
However, Buffalo head coach Sean McDermott did not give any indication of a connection there.
“Just seeing how he looks and giving him a chance,” McDermott said via video conference. “Just seeing what all the hard work he’s put in looks like.”
Bills Wire will provide updates on Shorter as information is made available.
