Morris caught his only target for a two-yard touchdown in Sunday's 30-27 win against Miami. Morris logged just eight offensive snaps in the victory, but he made an impact with a two-yard touchdown catch midway through the fourth quarter to break a 20-20 tie. That reception was the 25-year-old's first catch and first target of the campaign. With that in mind, Morris is not on the fantasy radar as he sits behind both Dalton Kincaid and Dawson Knox on Buffalo's tight-end depth chart.

Morris caught his only target for a two-yard touchdown in Sunday's 30-27 win against Miami. Morris logged just eight offensive snaps in the victory, but he made an impact with a two-yard touchdown catch midway through the fourth quarter to break a 20-20 tie. That reception was the 25-year-old's first catch and first target of the campaign. With that in mind, Morris is not on the fantasy radar as he sits behind both Dalton Kincaid and Dawson Knox on Buffalo's tight-end depth chart.
Morris didn't draw a target while playing three of the Bills' 55 snaps on offense in Sunday's 34-10 win over the Titans. Morris has suited up for all seven of the Bills' games but has yet to draw a target in the passing game. He hasn't played more than nine snaps on offense in any contest.
Morris played nine of the Bills' 64 snaps on offense and didn't draw a target in Monday's 47-10 win over the Jaguars. Even though the big margin of victory allowed the No. 3 tight end to see a slight uptick in playing time after he joined the offense for six plays in both of the first two games of the season, Morris still went without a target for the third straight contest. While both Dalton Kincaid and Dawson Knox are healthy, Morris won't have a path to a meaningful role on offense, but Morris is locked into a key role on the Bills' special-teams units.
Morris (shoulder) will be a full participant during practice Wednesday, Chris Brown of the Bills Radio Network reports. Morris suffered the injury in a preseason contest against the Steelers, but he should be good to go as Week 1 prep for Sunday's season opener against the Cardinals picks up. The third-year pro typically doesn't see much action on offense, but his ability to suit up would at least strengthen the team's depth at tight end, while the Bowling Green product is also a regular on special teams.
Head coach Sean McDermott said Thursday that Morris (shoulder) is trending in the right direction with his injury recovery and could be available for the regular-season opener against the Cardinals on Sept. 8, Alec White of the Bills' official site reports. Morris sustained a shoulder injury in Saturday's preseason game against Pittsburgh. It appeared he was in jeopardy of missing multiple regular-season games, but the third-year tight end could be available for Week 1 if his recovery continues to progress well. Morris is currently slated as the third tight end on the Bills' depth chart behind Dalton Kincaid and Dawson Knox.
Coach Sean McDermott said Monday that Morris (shoulder) will miss multiple weeks due to an injury sustained during Saturday's preseason game against Pittsburgh, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports. McDermott said Morris' evaluation is still ongoing. The third-year pro secured two of four targets for 20 yards before being forced out of Saturday's contest. When healthy, Morris figures to handle a depth role behind top tight ends Dalton Kincaid and Dawson Knox. but it remains to be seen how long he'll be sidelined. Saturday's preseason game against the Panthers will be Morris' final chance to suit up for exhibition action.
Morris hurt his shoulder in Saturday's preseason game against Pittsburgh and has been ruled out from returning. Morris caught two of four targets for 20 yards prior to going down with the injury. While he's well behind Dalton Kincaid and Dawson Knox in Buffalo's tight-end pecking order, Morris is a strong favorite to make the squad as the team's third tight end if he is healthy. Morris has seen more work on special teams than on offense during his first two NFL campaigns.
The Bills re-signed Morris on a one-year deal Friday. 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 2 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.
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.
