• Damiere Byrd: Cut loose by Buffalo

  08/25/2024 • By RotoWire

  The Bills released Byrd on Sunday. After spending most of the 2023 season on the Falcons' practice squad, Byrd signed with the Commanders in May before being released in late July. He managed to catch on with the Bills on Aug. 12, and he caught his lone pass for 20 yards in Saturday's preseason game against the Panthers. The 31-year-old wide receiver will now look to catch on with a team in need of veteran wide receiver depth.

• Bills' Damiere Byrd: Lands in Buffalo

  08/13/2024 • By RotoWire

  The Bills signed Byrd to a contract Monday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports. Byrd spent most of last season on Atlanta's practice squad, though he got into one game with the Falcons and logged 18 offensive snaps, recording zero catches on two targets. The veteran wideout's best NFL campaign came in 2020 with New England, when he caught 47 passes for 604 yards and a touchdown. Byrd also has experience as a kick and punt returner, though most of his work in that capacity came early in his career. He joins a Buffalo wide-receiver room that looks dramatically different than last season due to the departures of Stefon Diggs and Gabe Davis.

  Byrd agreed to a contract with the Commanders on Wednesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports. Byrd appeared in just one game during the 2023 campaign after the Falcons elevated him from the practice squad in early November. The 31-year-old had previously played 14 games with Atlanta in 2022, collecting 13 receptions (on 23 targets) for 268 yards and two touchdowns. Byrd has played for five teams during his career, and he'll now reunite in Washington with Commanders offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury, who was Bryd's head coach in Arizona during the 2019 season.

  Byrd signed with Houston's practice squad Wednesday. The Texans signed Steven Sims from the practice squad to the active roster Tuesday, and they are bringing in Byrd one day later to fill that vacated spot. Byrd could be elevated for Saturday's divisional round game against the Ravens, as Robert Woods (hip) and John Metchie (foot) were limited participants in practice Tuesday after Noah Brown (shoulder) was placed on injured reserve Monday, leaving the Texans thin at wide receiver.
