Back with Buffalo
The Bills re-signed Morris on a one-year deal Friday.
Analysis: The 25-year-old tight end will remain in Buffalo after spending the first two years of his career with the Bills. Morris has appeared in 19 games over the past two seasons, logging 10 catches for 210 yards and two touchdowns while also contributing on special teams. The Bowling Green product likely isn't guaranteed a roster spot, but he's expected to compete for another depth/special teams role throughout the offseason.

No targets in Week 16
Morris went without a target while playing 18 of 68 snaps on offense in Sunday's 31-10 win over the Cowboys.
Analysis: Morris hasn't drawn a target since Week 11 and will likely continue to handle a muted role on offense as Buffalo's No. 3 tight end while both Dalton Kincaid (shoulder) and Dawson Knox are available.

Logs full practice Thursday
Morris (ankle) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.
Analysis: Morris was able to log a limited session Wednesday, and the fact that he upgraded to a full participant in Thursday's practice bodes well for his chances to suit up against the Bengals in Week 9. He's missed the last two games after sustaining an ankle injury in Week 6 against the Giants, and his return would help bolster the Bills' depth at tight end, with Dawson Knox (wrist) set to miss the next three games while on IR.

Returns to limited practice
Morris (ankle) will be a limited participant in practice Wednesday, Jay Skurski of The Buffalo News reports.
Analysis: Morris has missed the past two games due to an ankle injury, so it's encouraging to see him back on the practice field to begin Week 9 prep, even in a limited capacity. With Dawson Knox (wrist) on injured reserve, Morris would operate as the No. 2 tight end behind rookie Dalton Kincaid if the Bowling Green product makes his return Sunday against the Bengals.

Won't play Thursday
Morris (ankle) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Buccaneers.
Analysis: With Dawson Knox (wrist) also sidelined, Dalton Kincaid is the lone healthy tight end on the Bills' 53-man roster at the moment, though Joel Wilson will presumably be elevated from the practice squad ahead of Thursday's game. Morris' next chance to see game action will arrive Nov. 5 against the Bengals.

Misses Tuesday's practice
Morris (ankle) was a non-participant in Tuesday's practice.
Analysis: Morris, who has been dealing with an ankle issue, was inactive for Buffalo's Week 7 loss to the Patriots, and it seems as if his injury could hold him out even longer. The 24-year-old has now recorded consecutive DNPs during Monday's walkthrough and Tuesday's practice. Morris has an opportunity to play behind Dalton Kincaid as the Bills' No. 2 tight end if he's able to suit up Thursday, as Dawson Knox is slated to undergo wrist surgery.

Listed as non-participant Monday
Morris (ankle) was listed as a non-participant in Monday's walk-through, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Morris was inactive for Sunday's game against New England, and it's unclear if he'll be able to return to action for Thursday night's game against the Buccaneers. Morris' status for the contest gains added import with Dawson Knox slated to undergo wrist surgery. For now, the Bills' top healthy tight end is Dalton Kincaid, with Joel Wilson a candidate to be elevated from the team's practice squad ahead of Week 8 action.

Hits paydirt in win
Morris secured his lone target for a 15-yard touchdown in Sunday's 14-9 win over the Giants.
Analysis: Morris' 15-yard touchdown grab was his first reception of the 2023 campaign. The second-year tight end found himself in the No. 2 role behind Dawson Knox, with Dalton Kincaid (concussion) inactive for the contest. Morris played 30 percent of Buffalo's offensive snaps, his highest share of the season. The 24-year-old veteran's touchdown ultimately earned the Bills the win in what was a surprisingly low-scoring day for the offense. Going forward, Morris' limited usage and Kincaid's eventual…read more

Makes catch on TD drive
Morris played 22 of the Bills' 72 snaps on offense and hauled in his lone target for a 12-yard gain in Sunday's 34-31 win over the Dolphins in the wild-card round.
Analysis: Morris' reception came on the first snap of a five-play scoring drive late in the third quarter that culminated in a Gabe Davis touchdown reception to push Buffalo's lead to 10 points. As per usual, Morris played second fiddle to starting tight end Dawson Knox (61 snaps, 3-20-1 receiving line on five targets), and the two are likely to maintain a significant gap in playing time so long as Knox is healthy for the duration of Buffalo's playoff run.

Not listed on injury report
Morris (illness) isn't listed on Wednesday's injury report.
Analysis: Morris was inactive for last Thursday's win over the Patriots due to the illness, but he's had plenty of time to recover and should be good to go for Sunday's matchup against the Jets. Across 10 appearances this season, Morris has caught seven of 10 targets for 70 yards.

Morris (illness) has been ruled inactive for Thursday's game against the Patriots.
Analysis: Morris did not participate in Buffalo's practices Sunday and Tuesday due to an illness before returning in full Wednesday. However, he still appears to be dealing with the effects of this ailment, and he will now miss his first game since Week 1 as a result.

Questionable for Thursday
Morris (illness) is listed as questionable to play Thursday versus the Patriots.
Analysis: Morris failed to practice in either of the Bills' in-person sessions this week before being considered a full participant in Wednesday's walkthrough, leaving his status for Thursday up in the air as he continues to deal with an illness. If he's unable to go, Tommy Sweeney could see a slight uptick in usage in Week 13.

Not practicing
Morris (illness) will not practice Sunday, Sal Capaccio of WGR Sports Radio 550 Buffalo reports.
Analysis: Morris will start the work week sitting out, as the team is holding a practice Sunday due to the Bills playing Thursday against the Patriots. The 23-year-old has played a limited but consistent role as the backup to Dawson Knox this season. He did record a catch on his lone target for three yards in Thursday's win over the Lions, which was his first catch since Week 5 against the Steelers. If Morris is unable to play Week 13, Tommy Sweeney will likely find himself active against New England.

Impresses in first NFL start
Morris started at tight end and played 36 of the Bills' 56 offensive snaps in Sunday's 38-3 win over the Steelers, finishing with three receptions for 39 yards on five targets.
Analysis: Even though Buffalo was down multiple complementary pieces in its passing attack with all of Jamison Crowder (ankle), Isaiah McKenzie (concussion), Jake Kumerow (ankle) and Dawson Knox (foot) sidelined Sunday, players like Morris, Khalil Shakir and Isaiah Hodgins shined in their most extensive NFL action to date. While filling in for Knox, Morris handily outpaced backup Tommy Sweeney (22 snaps) in field time and played a part in quarterback Josh Allen amassing 348 passing yards by halftime.…read more

Playing time opens up
Morris' teammate Dawson Knox will miss Sunday's game against the Steelers due to a foot injury.
Analysis: With the starter out of action, this leaves Morris and Tommy Sweeney to handle the majority of the tight-end duties for the Bills in Week 5. Morris saw 24 percent of the offensive snaps in Week 4, while Sweeney hasn't played since Week 1, so it'll be interesting to see if the former gets a few extra looks in the passing game against the Steelers. Morris has been active for three games this season with a collective 3-28-0 line on four targets.

Passes Sweeney as No. 2 tight end
Morris hauled in his lone target for a six-yard gain in Monday's 41-7 win over the Titans.
Analysis: The second-year player out of Bowling Green missed the Bills' season-opening win over the Rams with a hamstring injury, but Morris served as the No. 2 tight end behind Dawson Knox in Week 2 while Tommy Sweeney was a healthy inactive. Though Morris ended up playing 28 of the Bills' 68 offensive snaps (41 percent), expect the usage gap between him and Knox (47 snaps, 69 percent) to remain wider in more competitive contests. Morris remains an intriguing prospect, but not one who will warrant much…read more

Analysis: Morris missed last Thursday's season opener against the Rams with an apparent hamstring injury, but his return to practice as a full participant Thursday indicates he's moved on from the issue.

Goes from Bowling Green to Buffalo
Morris has signed as an undrafted free agent, the Bills' official site reports.
Analysis: Morris is big and athletic and started for three years at Bowling Green, catching 125 passes in his four-year career while reeling in 13 touchdowns. He likely wasn't drafted due to the lack of top competition faced in college, plus he isn't considered nimble in tight spaces. He's also not considered a top blocker, though he does have experience in that department and isn't known as a strict pass catcher. Morris, like any UDFA, will have his work cut out for him to make the team, but the Bills…read more
