Mandatory Credit: Kirby Lee-Imagn Images Free agent wide receiver Gabe Davis isn't healthy enough to take the field, but the Buffalo Bills are betting he can get there.
Head coach Sean McDermott said Wednesday the Bills are completing a deal with Davis to sign a contract and join the practice squad with an injury designation. McDermott said Davis is still recovering from the knee injury he suffered last season.
The reunion puts Davis back on familiar footing. He spent the first four seasons of his NFL career in Buffalo.
He signed a three-year, $39 million free agent deal with Jacksonville Jaguars in March 2024.
The Jaguars released Davis on May 7, absorbing a $20.3 million dead cap hit to be spread over two seasons.
Davis, 26, caught 20 passes for 239 yards and two touchdowns in 10 games (nine starts) last season before he was injured on Nov. 17 in a 52-6 loss to the Detroit Lions.
Davis had 163 catches for 2,730 yards and 27 touchdowns in 64 games (47 starts) with the Bills, who selected him in the fourth round of the 2020 NFL Draft out of UCF.
