Morrow was waived by the Bills on Thursday, per the NFL's official transaction log. Morrow joined the Bills' active roster ahead of the team's 40-14 win over the Jets in Week 17, failing to log a snap in the contest. The linebacker will likely return to Buffalo's practice squad in the coming days.
The Bills signed Morrow to the 53-man roster Tuesday. Morrow began the regular season on the Bills' active roster, but he was let go Dec. 7 after playing in 11 games. He's back on the 53-man roster due to Baylon Spector (calf) being placed on injured reserve. Morrow will mainly contribute on special teams while bolstering the Bills' linebacker corps.
Morrow (groin/core) is not listed on Wednesday's injury report. Morrow spent much of training camp and the preseason dealing with groin and core injuries, but his rehab progressed no schedule and he has no restrictions heading into Sunday's regular-season opener against the Cardinals. He appears locked into a starting role at strong-side linebacker for Buffalo, with Matt Milano (biceps) sidelined until at least late in the season.
Coach Sean McDermott said Monday that Morrow (groin/core) will participate in walkthroughs and individual drills at practice this week, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports. Morrow has dealt with groin and core issues since early August, so returning to practice on at least an individual basis is a step in the right direction. In the wake of Matt Milano (biceps) suffering an injury that will keep him out until late in the 2024 season, at the earliest, Morrow and Dorian Williams both have a path to a starting role at strong-side linebacker.
Morrow was held out of Monday's practice due to groin and core issues, Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic reports. Buffalo brought in Morrow earlier in the offseason after the 29-year-old posted 95 total tackles, including 3.0 sacks, and five passes defended in 2023 with the Eagles. Once Morrow is able to return to the field, he's expected to compete with Dorian Williams for the Bills' top strong-side linebacker position ahead of the team's 2024 campaign.
Morrow is set to sign a one-year deal with the Bills, Mike Garafolo of NFL Networkreports. Morrow enjoyed a successful 2023 campaign that saw him start 11 games for the Eagles while Nakobe Dean tended to a foot injury. The 28-year-old amassed 95 combined tackles, including 3.0 sacks, and five passes defended. He'll likely fill a depth role in the Bills' linebacker corps behind Terrel Bernard in the middle.
