INJURY UPDATE: Head Coach Sean McDermott Activates Practice Window for WR Who Posted 201+ Yards – One of the Top 5 All-Time Single-Game Receiving Yards Performers in NFL History – Buffalo Bills Are Ready to Tackle the Next Challenges.

Orchard Park, New York – October 30, 2025

After several weeks without him, the Buffalo Bills received a major boost on Thursday as head coach Sean McDermott officially opened the practice window for wide receiver Gabe Davis, the dynamic playmaker who once exploded for 201+ yards in a single game, ranking among the Top 5 receiving performances in modern NFL history.

The timing couldn’t be better. The Bills are entering a crucial stretch of the season — starting with a Week 9 showdown against the Kansas City Chiefs, a matchup that will serve as a true test of Buffalo’s resilience and championship potential.

Drafted by the Bills in the fourth round of the 2020 NFL Draft, Davis made his name with several unforgettable performances — most notably his four-touchdown playoff game against the Chiefs in 2022, a feat that remains an NFL postseason record. After signing with the Jacksonville Jaguars in 2024, a knee injury cut his stint short. The Bills brought him back to the practice squad before Week 1, though he was immediately placed on the injured list to focus on rehab.

Now, after nearly two months of recovery and conditioning, Gabe Davis is officially back on the practice field.

“I feel great. My body’s ready,” Davis said after Thursday’s session. “I know it’s been a long road, but I’ve worked hard to get here. I want to finish what I started in Buffalo — this is home.”

Under NFL rules, Davis can be elevated to the active roster up to three times this season. Known for his strong hands, vertical speed, and chemistry with Josh Allen, his return could add much-needed firepower to Buffalo’s passing attack — especially against a Chiefs defense that thrives on pressure and coverage disguises.

Head coach Sean McDermott expressed full confidence in his receiver’s comeback:

“Gabe has gone through more than most players ever will,” McDermott said. “He’s been our spark in some of the biggest moments. His professionalism and toughness earn him respect in this locker room. And I believe that, with how he’s looked in practice, Gabe will be our X-factor against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 9 — a game where every detail matters.”

While DaQuan Jones (calf) and Joshua Palmer (ankle/knee) remain sidelined, Davis’ return injects new energy into the Bills’ locker room. With their star receiver back in action, Buffalo looks poised to tackle the challenges ahead — and continue their pursuit of AFC dominance and a long-awaited Super Bowl run.
