Quintin Morris Injury News & Updates

Morris secured one of three targets for 11 yards during Sunday's 35-6 win against the Chargers.

The 26-year-old operated as Jacksonville's No. 1 tight end Sunday, playing 50 of 71 offensive snaps with Hunter Long (hip) inactive and Brenton Strange (hip) still on injured reserve. Morris' third-quarter reception was his first of the campaign since he almost exclusively played special teams earlier in the season.

Morris (groin) was a full participant in Jacksonville's practice Wednesday.

Morris returned to practice after missing the past two games with a groin injury. The 26-year-old has yet to record a catch this season and should continue to see the majority of his playing time on special teams.

Morris (groin) has been ruled out for Sunday's tilt versus the Raiders.

This will be the second straight absence for Morris, with a Week 8 bye sandwiched in between. He did manage a trio of limited practices this week and will look to return to action next Sunday versus Houston. Morris has played almost exclusively on special teams this season, so his absence probably won't have a major impact on the Jaguars' offensive game plan.

Morris (groin) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday.

Morris missed the Jaguars' last game before their Week 8 bye versus the Rams with a groin injury, and it's still bothering him even after the extra week of rest. He'll probably have to practice in full Thursday or Friday to avoid carrying an injury designation into the weekend.

Morris (groin) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Rams.

Morris will not travel with the team to London this week. With Morris joining Brenton Strange (quadriceps) on the shelf, the Jaguars figure to roll with Hunter Long, Johnny Mundt and possibly practice-squad addition Jordan Akins at tight end versus Los Angeles.

Morris was signed to the Jaguars' active roster Monday.

Morris will officially join the Jaguars' active roster after he had already exhausted his three elevations from the practice squad. The tight end has played in each of Jacksonville's last three games, failing to record any stats while operating almost exclusively as a special-teams option.

Morris reverted to the Jaguars' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

Morris was elevated to the active roster ahead of Sunday's 26-21 win over the 49ers, failing to record any stats while playing three snaps on offense. Additionally, the tight end added one tackle on kickoff coverage while playing 21 snaps on special teams. Morris has now exhausted his three elevations, and he'd have to be signed to the active roster in order to play again this season.

The Jaguars elevated Morris from the practice squad Saturday ahead of Sunday's game versus the 49ers, Demetrius Harvey of The Florida Times-Union reports.

Morris is set to be elevated for the third time this season and would need to be signed to the active roster in order to appear in another game following Sunday's matchup. He played exclusively on special teams across his first two appearances and will likely have a similar role versus San Francisco.

Morris reverted to the Jaguars' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Morris played exclusively on special teams for a second consecutive week, logging 16 snaps without showing up on the box score otherwise. Morris is eligible to be elevated from the practice squad once more; after that, the Jaguars would be required to sign the 26-year-old tight end to the active roster in order for him to continue to play with the team.

The Jaguars elevated Morris from their practice squad Saturday ahead of Sunday's game versus the Texans.

Morris was elevated for last week's loss versus the Bengals as well but played exclusively on special teams and eded up recording one tackle. As all three of the tight ends on Jacksonville's active roster are currently healthy, Morris will likely be relegated to special teams work once again versus Houston.

Morris reverted to the Jaguars' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Morris played 17 snaps on special teams during Sunday's loss to the Bengals, recording one tackle. He's essentially the Jaguars' fourth tight end behind Brenton Strange, Johnny Mundt and Hunter Long.

Morris was elevated from Jacksonville's practice squad to the active roster Saturday.

The Bowling Green product remained with the Jaguars' practice squad after failing to make the initial 53-man roster in late August, and he's now set to play in the Week 2 matchup against the Bengals. Morris most recently appeared in 16 regular-season games for the Bills in 2024, catching five of his eight targets for 36 yards and one touchdown. He's likely to play as a depth option in Jacksonville's tight end corps Sunday.

The Jaguars signed Morris to the practice squad Wednesday.

Morris wasn't able to crack the Jaguars' 53-man roster Tuesday, but he'll stay in Jacksonville as a member of the team's practice squad. The undrafted rookie out of Bowling Green finished the preseason with eight catches on as many targets for 80 yards while adding one assisted tackle.

Jacksonville released Morris on Tuesday.

Morris joined the Jaguars on a one-year contract in mid-May, but he wasn't able to make the team's initial 53-man roster. The tight end will likely look for work with another team after spending the past three seasons with Buffalo.

Morris signed a one-year deal with the Jaguars on Wednesday, Jordan Schultz of Fox Sports reports.

Morris is headed to Jacksonville after having hauled in five passes for 36 yards and a touchdown in 16 games for the Bills last season. While he only has limited production in the receiving game, the 26-year-old can add value as both a blocker as well as on special teams.

The Bills will not place their franchise tender on Morris, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Morris was eligible to be tendered by Buffalo as a restricted free agent, but he's now slated to become an unrestricted free agent. Rapoport adds that the Bills would still like to re-sign him on a new deal. The 6-foot-2 tight end collected 15 passes for 146 yards and mostly played on special teams over the last three seasons.

Morris finished the 2024 regular season with five catches on eight targets for 36 yards and a touchdown over 16 games.

For the third straight season to begin his career, Morris saw more work on special teams than on offense, though he did log over one-third of Buffalo's offensive snaps in four of the team's final eight regular-season contests. His role diminished again in the playoffs, however, as Morris recorded just 12 offensive snaps without any targets over three games. Morris is now slated to be a restricted free agent, and if he's back with the Bills, he'll likely continue to have a minor role on offense given that both Dalton Kincaid and Dawson Knox are in line to head the team's tight end corps again in 2025.

Morris (shoulder/groin) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Lions.

Morris was deemed questionable with shoulder and groin issues on Friday's injury report. But, he'll make his return to action after missing last week's loss to the Rams due to these issues. Across 12 appearances this season, Morris has logged two catches, including one touchdown, on just three targets. He'll continue to back up Dalton Kincaid and Dawson Knox on Sunday.

Morris (shoulder/groin) is questionable for Sunday's game versus Detroit.

Morris missed last week's loss to the Rams, but he did practice fully earlier this week and is practicing Friday. Dalton Kincaid (knee) is also listed as questionable to face the Lions. Dawson Knox and Zach Davidson would handle tight end duties if both players were unable to play Sunday.

Morris (shoulder/groin) was listed as a full participant in Wednesday's walkthrough practice.

Despite practicing in full Friday, Morris was sidelined for the Bills' Week 14 loss to the Rams due to shoulder and groin injuries. However, Wednesday's estimated full practice suggests that he's already recovered from the issues. Expect the Bowling Green product to serve as Buffalo's No. 3 tight end in a Week 15 matchup against the Lions, playing behind Dalton Kincaid (knee) and Dawson Knox.

Morris (shoulder/groin) has been ruled out for Sunday's matchup versus the Rams.

Morris was a limited participant in practice throughout the week but will end up being unable to play Sunday. The Bills will be shorthanded at tight end as Dalton Kincaid (knee) out as well, and as a result, Dawson Knox and Zach Davidson will both likely see increased roles.

Morris (shoulder/groin) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Rams.

The Bowling Green product appears to be trending toward playing ahead of Sunday's contest, as he upgraded from limited practice Thursday to a full session Friday. Morris could see a larger offensive role if he can play through his injuries in Week 14, especially with Dalton Kincaid (knee) also listed as questionable. Dawson Knox is currently the only tight end on the Bills' active roster without an injury designation for Sunday.

Morris (shoulder/groin) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice session.

Morris was estimated as a limited participant during Wednesday's walkthrough, and the 25-year-old tight end remained restricted during Thursday's practice. He would be able to avoid an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Rams if he is able to log a full practice Friday. Morris caught his lone target for 14 yards while playing 38 snaps (23 on offense, 15 on special teams) during the Bills' Week 13 win over the 49ers. Morris has seen a significant uptick in offensive snaps over the Bills' last three games due to Dalton Kincaid (knee) being sidelined.

Morris (shoulder/groin) was estimated as a limited participant on Wednesday's practice estimation.

Morris played 38 total snaps (23 offensive and 15 on special teams) and caught his only target for 14 yards in the Bills' Week 13 win over the 49ers. However, he's dealing with shoulder and groin issues following Sunday's game. He could be in jeopardy of missing Buffalo's Week 14 matchup against the Rams if he's unable to upgrade to full practice Thursday or Friday.

Morris caught his only target for a two-yard touchdown in Sunday's 30-27 win against Miami.

Morris logged just eight offensive snaps in the victory, but he made an impact with a two-yard touchdown catch midway through the fourth quarter to break a 20-20 tie. That reception was the 25-year-old's first catch and first target of the campaign. With that in mind, Morris is not on the fantasy radar as he sits behind both Dalton Kincaid and Dawson Knox on Buffalo's tight-end depth chart.

Morris didn't draw a target while playing three of the Bills' 55 snaps on offense in Sunday's 34-10 win over the Titans.

Morris has suited up for all seven of the Bills' games but has yet to draw a target in the passing game. He hasn't played more than nine snaps on offense in any contest.

Morris played nine of the Bills' 64 snaps on offense and didn't draw a target in Monday's 47-10 win over the Jaguars.

Even though the big margin of victory allowed the No. 3 tight end to see a slight uptick in playing time after he joined the offense for six plays in both of the first two games of the season, Morris still went without a target for the third straight contest. While both Dalton Kincaid and Dawson Knox are healthy, Morris won't have a path to a meaningful role on offense, but Morris is locked into a key role on the Bills' special-teams units.

Morris (shoulder) will be a full participant during practice Wednesday, Chris Brown of the Bills Radio Network reports.

Morris suffered the injury in a preseason contest against the Steelers, but he should be good to go as Week 1 prep for Sunday's season opener against the Cardinals picks up. The third-year pro typically doesn't see much action on offense, but his ability to suit up would at least strengthen the team's depth at tight end, while the Bowling Green product is also a regular on special teams.

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.

Coach Sean McDermott said Monday that Morris (shoulder) will miss multiple weeks due to an injury sustained during Saturday's preseason game against Pittsburgh, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.

McDermott said Morris' evaluation is still ongoing. The third-year pro secured two of four targets for 20 yards before being forced out of Saturday's contest. When healthy, Morris figures to handle a depth role behind top tight ends Dalton Kincaid and Dawson Knox. but it remains to be seen how long he'll be sidelined. Saturday's preseason game against the Panthers will be Morris' final chance to suit up for exhibition action.

Morris hurt his shoulder in Saturday's preseason game against Pittsburgh and has been ruled out from returning.

Morris caught two of four targets for 20 yards prior to going down with the injury. While he's well behind Dalton Kincaid and Dawson Knox in Buffalo's tight-end pecking order, Morris is a strong favorite to make the squad as the team's third tight end if he is healthy. He's seen more work on special teams than on offense during his first two NFL campaigns.

The Bills re-signed Morris on a one-year deal Friday.

The 25-year-old tight end will remain in Buffalo after spending the first two years of his career with the Bills. Morris has appeared in 19 games over the past two seasons, logging 10 catches for 210 yards and 2 touchdowns while also contributing on special teams. The Bowling Green product likely isn't guaranteed a roster spot, but he's expected to compete for another depth/special teams role throughout the offseason.

Morris went without a target while playing 18 of 68 snaps on offense in Sunday's 31-10 win over the Cowboys.

Morris hasn't drawn a target since Week 11 and will likely continue to handle a muted role on offense as Buffalo's No. 3 tight end while both Dalton Kincaid (shoulder) and Dawson Knox are available.

Morris (ankle) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.

Morris was able to log a limited session Wednesday, and the fact that he upgraded to a full participant in Thursday's practice bodes well for his chances to suit up against the Bengals in Week 9. He's missed the last two games after sustaining an ankle injury in Week 6 against the Giants and his return would help bolster the Bills' depth at tight end with Dawson Knox (wrist) set to miss the next three games while on IR.

Morris (ankle) will be a limited participant in practice Wednesday, Jay Skurski of The Buffalo News reports.

Morris has missed the past two games due to an ankle injury, so it's encouraging to see him back on the practice field to begin Week 9 prep, even in a limited capacity. With Dawson Knox (wrist) on injured reserve, Morris would operate as the No. 2 tight end behind rookie Dalton Kincaid if the Bowling Green product makes his return Sunday against the Bengals.

Morris (ankle) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Buccaneers.

With Dawson Knox (wrist) also sidelined, Dalton Kincaid is the lone healthy tight end on the Bills' 53-man roster at the moment, though Joel Wilson will presumably be elevated from the practice squad ahead of Thursday's game. Morris' next chance to see game action will arrive Nov. 5 against the Bengals.

Morris (ankle) was a non-participant in Tuesday's practice.

Morris, who has been dealing with an ankle issue, was inactive for Buffalo's Week 7 loss to the Patriots, and it seems as if his injury could hold him out even longer. The 24-year-old has now recorded consecutive DNPs during Monday's walkthrough and Tuesday's practice. Morris has an opportunity to play behind Dalton Kincaid as the Bills' No. 2 tight end if he's able to suit up Thursday, as Dawson Knox is slated to undergo wrist surgery.

Morris (ankle) was listed as a non-participant in Monday's walk-through, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.

Morris was inactive for Sunday's game against New England and it's unclear if he'll be able to return to action for Thursday night's game against the Buccaneers. Morris' status for the contest gains added import, with Dawson Knox slated to undergo wrist surgery. For now, the Bills' top healthy tight end is Dalton Kincaid, with Joel Wilson a candidate to be elevated from the team's practice squad ahead of Week 8 action.

Morris (ankle) is ruled out for Sunday's game against New England, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.

Morris, who caught his first pass of the season last week for a 15-yard touchdown, will have to miss his first game of the year due to an ankle injury. The depth tight end's next chance to take the field will be Week 8 against Tampa Bay.

Morris (ankle) will not participate at practice Thursday, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.

Morris couldn't manage to participate in Wednesday's walkthrough either, and at this point he's trending towards sitting out in Week 7. He'll probably need to practice in some capacity Friday to give himself a chance to suit up Sunday at New England.

Morris (ankle) will not participate at Buffalo's walkthrough practice Wednesday, Matt Parrino of The Syracuse Post-Standard reports.

Morris played a season-high 18 snaps in Sunday's win versus the Giants, and it's not clear when he picked up the injury. The Bills' injury reports Thursday and Friday will shed more light on his potential availability for Week 7.

Morris secured his lone target for a 15-yard touchdown in Sunday's 14-9 win over the Giants.

Morris' 15-yard touchdown grab was his first reception of the 2023 campaign. The second-year tight end found himself in the No. 2 role behind Dawson Knox with Dalton Kincaid (concussion) inactive for the contest. Morris played 30 percent of Buffalo's offensive snaps, his highest share of the season. The 24-year-old veteran's touchdown ultimately earned the Bills the win in what was a surprisingly low-scoring day for the offense. Going forward, Morris' limited usage and Kincaid's eventual return make him extremely difficult to trust for fantasy purposes. The Bills will visit the Patriots in Week 7.

Morris played 22 of the Bills' 72 snaps on offense and hauled in his lone target for a 12-yard gain in Sunday's 34-31 win over the Dolphins in the wild-card round.

Morris' reception came on the first snap of a five-play scoring drive late in the third quarter that culminated in a Gabe Davis touchdown reception to push Buffalo's lead to 10 points. As per usual, Morris played second fiddle to starting tight end Dawson Knox (61 snaps, 3-20-1 receiving line on five targets), and the two are likely to maintain a significant gap in playing time so long as Knox is healthy for the duration of Buffalo's playoff run.

Morris isn't listed on Wednesday's injury report.

Morris was ruled inactive for last Thursday's win over the Patriots due to an illness, but he's had plenty of time to recover and should be good to go for Sunday's matchup against the Jets. Across 10 appearances, Morris has caught seven of 10 targets for 70 yards.

Morris (illness) has been ruled inactive for Thursday's game against the Patriots.

Morris did not participate in Buffalo's practices Sunday and Tuesday due to an illness before returning in full Wednesday. However, he still appears to be dealing with the effects of this ailment, and he will now miss his first game since Week 1 as a result. With Morris sidelined, Dawson Knox and Tommy Sweeney will serve as the Bills' only available tight ends versus New England.

Morris (illness) is considered questionable to play Thursday versus the Patriots.

Morris failed to practice in either of the Bills' in-person sessions this week before being considered a full participant in Wednesday's walkthrough, leaving his status for Thursday up in the air as he continues to deal with an illness. If he's unable to go, Tommy Sweeney could see a slight uptick in usage in Week 13.

Morris (illness) didn't practice Tuesday.

Morris has missed the first two practices of Week 13 prep and was sidelined for Sunday's unofficial session due to an illness. He'll have only one more chance to practice before the team needs to make a decision on his status for Thursday's matchup against New England.

Morris (illness) will not practice Sunday, Sal Capaccio of WGR Sports Radio 550 Buffalo reports.

Morris will start the work week sitting out, as the team is holding a practice Sunday due to the Bills playing Thursday against the Patriots. The 23-year-old has played a limited but consistent role as the backup to Dawson Knox this season. He did record a catch on his lone target for three yards in Thursday's win over the Lions, which was his first catch since Week 5 against the Steelers. If Morris is unable to play Week 13, Tommy Sweeney will likely find himself active against New England.

Morris started at tight end and played 36 of the Bills' 56 offensive snaps in Sunday's 38-3 win over the Steelers, finishing with three receptions for 39 yards on five targets.

Even though Buffalo was down multiple complementary pieces in its passing attack with all of Jamison Crowder (ankle), Isaiah McKenzie (concussion), Jake Kumerow (ankle) and Dawson Knox (foot) sidelined Sunday, players like Morris, Khalil Shakir and Isaiah Hodgins shined in their most extensive NFL action to date. While filling in for Knox, Morris handily outpaced backup Tommy Sweeney (22 snaps) in field time and played a part in quarterback Josh Allen amassing 348 passing yards by halftime. Though Morris will move back into a more muted role if Knox is ready to go for a much-anticipated Week 6 showdown with Kansas City, the second-year player out of Bowling Green will be someone to consider as a streaming option if Knox should miss time at any point.

Morris' teammate Dawson Knox will miss Sunday's game against the Steelers due to a foot injury.

With the starter out of action, this leaves Morris and Tommy Sweeney to handle pretty much all the tight end duties for the Bills in Week 5. Morris saw 24 percent of the offensive snaps in Week 4, while Sweeney hasn't played since Week 1, so it'll be interesting to see if the former gets a few extra looks in the passing game against the Steelers. Morris has been active for three games this season with a collective 3-28-0 line on four targets.

Morris hauled in his lone reception for a six-yard gain in Monday's 41-7 win over the Titans.

The second-year player out of Bowling Green missed the Bills' season-opening win over the Rams with a hamstring injury, but Morris served as the No. 2 tight end behind Dawson Knox in Week 2 while Tommy Sweeney was a healthy inactive. Though Morris ended up playing 28 of the Bills' 68 offensive snaps (41 percent), expect the usage gap between him and Knox (47 snaps, 69 percent) to remain wider in more competitive contests. Morris remains an intriguing prospect, but not one who will warrant much attention so long as Knox is available.

Morris (hamstring) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.

Morris missed last Thursday's season opener against the Rams with an apparent hamstring injury, but his return to practice as a full participant Thursday indicates he's moved on from the issue. Expect the 23-year-old to operate as the Bills' No. 3 tight end behind starter Dawson Knox and Tommy Sweeney, while the team prepares for a Monday night matchup with the Titans.

Morris (hamstring) was ruled inactive for Thursday's game against the Rams.

Morris failed to practice Monday and Tuesday, but he was able to log a limited session Wednesday. While the 252-pounder continues to deal with his hamstring issue, the Bills will be without their No. 3 tight end Thursday night against the Rams.

Morris (hamstring) is questionable for Thursday's season opener against the Rams, Chris Brown of the Bills' official site reports.

Morris returned to practice on a limited basis Wednesday for the first time this week, giving himself a shot at playing in the season opener. The second-year tight end was elevated to the active roster for one game last year but is still looking to make his NFL debut. If available, he'll serve as a depth piece behind Dawson Knox and Tommy Sweeney.

Morris (hamstring) didn't practice Sunday due to a hamstring injury, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.

Morris made the team's 53-man roster as the backup behind Dawson Knox and Tommy Sweeney, but he's picked up a hamstring issue that may sideline him for the season opener. The UDFA out of Bowling Green was elevated to the active roster for one game last year but is still looking to make his NFL debut.

Morris signed a reserve/future contract with the Bills on Monday.

Morris was in training camp with the Bills and joined the practice squad after being let go at roster cutdowns in late August. The rookie UDFA out of Bowling Green was elevated to the active roster for one game but didn't make his NFL debut.

Morris (undisclosed) was restored to Buffalo's practice squad from the practice squad COVID-19 list Thursday.

Morris landed on the COVID list last week and now out of the health and safety protocols. The rookie UDFA out of Bowling Green has yet to make his NFL debut.

The Bills placed Morris (undisclosed) on their practice squad COVID-19 list Wednesday.

Morris was made active for one game so far this season. The tight end will look to fill an emergency reserve role for the Bills as soon as he's out of health and safety protocols. Expect Tommy Sweeney to see an increased depth role while Morris is out.

Morris reverted to the Bills' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

Morris was a gameday elevation for Sunday's loss to Jacksonville, and he'll return to the practice squad after not taking the field.

Morris was signed to the Bills' active roster Saturday.

Morris, who was undrafted out of Bowling Green, will likely make his NFL debut Sunday against the Jaguars. With Dawson Knox (hand) still unable to play, Tommy Sweeney is the only sure thing in front of Morris on the tight end depth chart.

The Bills waived Morris on Tuesday, Heather Prusak of News4Buffalo reports.

The undrafted free agent caught 125 passes and 13 touchdowns during his four-year career at Bowling Green. The Bills would like to develop him on their practice squad, but the athletic tight end will have to clear waivers first.

Morris has signed as an undrafted free agent, the Bills' official site reports.

Morris is big and athletic and started for three years at Bowling Green, catching 125 passes in his four-year career while reeling in 13 touchdowns. He likely wasn't drafted due to the lack of top competition faced in college, plus he isn't considered nimble in tight spaces. He's also not considered a top blocker, though he does have experience in that department and isn't known as a strict pass catcher. Morris, like any UDFA, will have his work cut out for him to make the team, but the Bills -- without top talent at the tight end position -- offer as good an opportunity as any.
