JAKE KUMEROW NEWS

Subs in for injured Davis Kumerow caught two of three targets for 50 yards in Monday's win over the Titans.

Impact Kumerow saw the most action of any Bills receiver, though this was due more to the blowout nature of the game. Still, with Gabe Davis out with an ankle injury, this game showed that Kumerow is ahead of rookie Khalil Shakir in the pecking order. With Isaiah McKenzie and Jamison Crowder being more inclined for the slot role, the 6-foot-4 Kumerow seems to be the preferred outside choice whenever Stefon Diggs or Davis can't be on the field. Aaron Rodgers always vouched for Kumerow during his Green Bay days, and he seems to have earned the trust of Josh Allen as well during their three years together in Buffalo.

Returns to training camp practices Kumerow returned to practice Tuesday after missing time over the last week due to soreness, Grace Heidinger of the Bills' official site reports.

Impact With the Bills adding Jamison Crowder and Tavon Austin in free agency and drafting Boise State's Khalil Shakir in April, Kumerow has some work to do to land a roster spot, but at least he'll be able to resume that quest in apparently full health.

Out with injury Kumerow (undisclosed) was unable to participate in Tuesday's training session, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.

Impact The wide receiver was absent from Tuesday's activities while dealing with an undisclosed injury. Kumerow re-signed with the Bills this offseason after appearing in 15 games last season, catching two passes for 28 yards while operating mostly as a special-teams option.

Re-ups with Bills Buffalo re-signed Kumerow to a one-year contract Thursday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

Impact Kumerow mostly played special teams while logging a career-high 15 appearances in 2021, only securing two of six targets for 28 yards in that span. The 30-year-old can safely remain off the fantasy radar in all formats, but re-signing him provides a nice boost to Buffalo's end-of-roster depth.

Inactive Sunday Kumerow (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Colts.

Impact Kumerow was activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list Thursday but won't suit up for Sunday's contest. Gabriel Davis and Isaiah McKenzie are available as Buffalo's depth options at wide receiver.

Activated from COVID-19 list Kumerow was activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list Thursday.

Impact Kumerow spent nine days on the list and missed Buffalo's Week 10 game against the Jets, but he'll be eligible to suit up Sunday against the Colts. The 29-year-old wide receiver has primarily played on special teams this season, and Kumerow's expected to go back to the same role once he retakes the field.

NOVEMBER 18, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Placed on COVID-19 list Kumerow was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Tuesday.

Impact It's unclear if Kumerow tested positive or is a close contact, but he is now the fourth member of the Bills' offensive group to be placed on the COVID-19 list this week. The 6-foot-4 wideout hasn't caught a pass this season, so if he is unable to suit up Sunday, it shouldn't impact the Bills' offensive game plan.

Completes climb up depth chart Kumerow secured a spot on the Bills' initial 53-man roster released Tuesday, The Buffalo News reports.

Impact The journeyman wideout out of Wisconsin-Whitewater had a fantastic summer and leapfrogged some other receivers to nab a roster spot. He'll need some injuries to have meaningful fantasy value, but he's exceeded expectations so far, and both Josh Allen and previous teammate Aaron Rodgers have raved about his size and athletic ability. Keep his name in mind in the event injuries strike the high-powered Buffalo offense.

Rising up depth chart Kumerow has stood out early in training camp, making frequent eye-popping plays, Dante Lasting of the Bills' official site reports.

Impact The journeyman, who flipped between the Bills' roster and practice squad last season, appeared to be on the outside looking in for a roster spot when he was re-signed, and while that may still be the case he's putting himself in serious running for the final WR spot. Kumerow has held his own against star cornerback Tre'Davious White throughout camp and has drawn praise from his teammates for the athleticism he's showing coming from a guy his size. The Bills' top four receiving spots are locked up and the fifth will likely go to jack-of-all-trades Isaiah McKenzie, but Kumerow is certainly right up there if the Bills go with six receivers or one of the top five suffers an injury.
