Bills' Tanner Gentry: Elevated from practice squad again
Rotowire
The Bills elevated Gentry from their practice squad Wednesday ahead of their Thanksgiving game against Detroit.
This is Gentry's third elevation of the season, as he was also active in Weeks 5 and 11. He's played 18 offensive snaps over two contests and has drawn only one target, which he did not catch. Barring injuries ahead of him, Gentry is unlikely to play a significant role Thursday against the Lions.

Tanner Gentry: Reverts to practice squad
Rotowire
Gentry reverted to the Bills' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Gentry was activated from Buffalo's practice squad for the first time this season with wideouts Jake Kumerow (ankle) and Jamison Crowder (ankle) both out Sunday. The 27-year-old played just 11 offensive snaps and failed to record a catch on his lone target during this 38-3 blowout win over Pittsburgh. However, Gentry could be a candidate for two more elevations from the Bills' practice squad after Crowder was placed on injured reserve Monday.

After rejoining the Bills' practice unit Aug. 31, Gentry will look for another opportunity elsewhere after being let go Wednesday. The wide receiver hasn't played in an NFL game since 2017, when he caught three passes for 35 yards while appearing in four contests with the Bears.

Bills' Tanner Gentry: Suffers injury Friday
Rotowire
Gentry (knee/hamstring) is questionable to return to Friday's preseason contest against the Panthers.
Per Jay Skurski of The Buffalo News, Gentry was looked at by trainers on the sideline, but the extent of the issue remains unclear. The 27-year-old wideout hasn't seen game action in the regular season since 2017 and spent the 2021 campaign on Buffalo's practice squad after failing to make the team's season-opening roster.

Tanner Gentry: Time up with Bills
Rotowire
Buffalo cut Gentry on Tuesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Gentry linked with Buffalo's practice squad during the playoffs last season, and he managed to stick with the team via a reserve/future contract, but he couldn't secure a regular-season roster spot for 2021. However, he will be a candidate to sign with the practice squad again as long as he clears waivers.

Tanner Gentry: Links up with playoff contender
Rotowire
Gentry was signed to Buffalo's practice squad Monday, Dante Lasting of the Bills' official site reports.
The high-flying Bills rely heavily on numerous wide receivers, so they're loading up on reserves heading into the playoffs and with Cole Beasley working through a knee issue. However, even though Gentry was a teammate of Josh Allen at Wyoming, the Bills signed Kenny Stills to the practice squad as well, and it would seem far more likely Stills would get the call if the team needs more help in the playoffs.

The Bears signed Gentry to a reserve/future contract Tuesday.
Gentry appeared in four games with the Bears in 2017, hauling in three of six targets for 35 yards. However, despite leading the team in receptions during the 2018 preseason, he failed to make the 53-man roster. He'll have another opportunity to do so after signing a reserve/future contract.

Rotowire

Bears' Tanner Gentry: Posts 54 yards
Rotowire
Gentry caught six passes for 54 yards Thursday against the Bengals.
Gentry led the Bears with 11 targets, but he primarily played with the third-string offense in the second half. Although he's been solid in camp for the second consecutive year, he's battling for a roster spot, and there's a strong possibility he finds his way onto the practice squad as he did for most of the 2017 season.

Bears' Tanner Gentry: Finds end zone against Baltimore
Rotowire
Gentry caught three passes for 19 yards and a touchdown in Thursday's 17-16 loss to the Ravens.
Gentry caught a 10-yard TD strike from third-string quarterback Tyler Bray on the last drive of the game to pull the Bears a within one point. During the contest, his production came against the deep reserves in the second half of a game in which Chicago started their primary backup receivers. Although he had a phenomenal training camp in 2017, he spent most of the season on the practice squad before hauling in three passes for 35 yards in four games while on the 53-man roster. With Chicago having overhauled their wide receiver corps in the offseason, Gentry will battle in the hopes of landing one of the last spots on the Week 1 roster, although he faces long odds.
The Bears signed Gentry to a reserve/future contract Monday.
Gentry moved from the Bears' practice squad to the active roster multiple times this season, ultimately finishing the year on the former. The Wyoming product is a nifty route-runner who should have a real shot to claim a spot on the Bears' unsettled depth chart with a strong offseason.

Tanner Gentry: Joins Bears' practice squad
Rotowire
Gentry landed on the Bears' practice squad Tuesday, Patrick Finley of the Chicago Sun Times reports.
Gentry has bounced back and forth between the Bears' active roster and practice squad throughout the season. Outside of two receptions for 27 yards in Week 2, the rookie has failed to make much of an impression in the league so far. He will presumably stay on the team's practice squad until injures afford him another opportunity on the 53-man roster.

Bears' Tanner Gentry: Catches one pass
Rotowire
Gentry caught his only target in Sunday's 17-3 victory over the Panthers.
With the Bears playing with the lead for almost the entire contest, the coaching staff asked Mitchell Trubisky to throw just seven passes. As a result, Gentry was the only Chicago receiver to see a target in a hyper-conservative game script. Although he's a starting receiver, he'll be difficult to use in fantasy lineups until he produces something. In theory, he would be Chicago's primary deep threat, but it seems that the team only wants to throw downfield if absolutely necessary.
