Buffalo Bills elevate Greg Dortch and Frank Gore Jr. for Week 1

The Buffalo Bills have announced roster elevations for their season opener against the Houston Texans. Wide receiver Greg Dortch and running back Frank Gore Jr. will be elevated from the practice squad.

Dortch, who was signed by the Bills after being released by the Detroit Lions, is expected to take over punt return duties. He brings significant experience to the role, having recorded 99 punt returns in his professional career and maintaining a high yards-per-return average. His elevation also adds depth to the wide receiver corps, bringing the team's total to six wideouts.

Frank Gore Jr. is being elevated to provide depth at running back, potentially serving as insurance for Ty Johnson, who is listed as questionable for the matchup. Gore Jr. enters the regular season following a strong preseason performance.
