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.
