Overview

  • Buffalo added Brandin Cooks to the 53-man roster on Nov. 25 after he cleared waivers following his release by the Saints.
  • The Bills released wide receiver Elijah Moore on Nov. 26 in a corresponding move to create roster space.
  • Cooks, 32, posted 19 receptions for 165 yards with New Orleans this season and owns career totals of 729 catches, 9,697 yards and 60 touchdowns with six 1,000-yard seasons.
  • The move follows a stretch of offensive struggles and availability issues, with Mecole Hardman on injured reserve, tight end Dalton Kincaid sidelined by a hamstring injury, and Keon Coleman a recent healthy scratch.
  • Cooks could be available against the Steelers in Week 13, though his immediate role remains uncertain as the Bills seek a downfield threat for Josh Allen.
