Ex-Lion Dortch Finds New Home with Bills

Greg Dortch, a wide receiver, has been released by the Detroit Lions and is expected to join the Buffalo Bills' practice squad. This decision came as a surprise, as Dortch was considered a likely candidate for the team's roster, potentially serving as WR4 and punt returner.

Before his release on Sunday, August 31, 2026, Dortch had signed with the Lions with over $1 million in guaranteed money. He had spent the last five seasons with the Arizona Cardinals, working under offensive coordinator Drew Petzing for the past three years.

Despite speculation that he might return to the Lions after cutdown day, Dortch will instead begin anew with the Bills, aiming to secure a spot on their active roster. His departure was part of the Lions' final roster adjustments to reach the 53-player limit.
